Tires Continental or Kumho
I had these on my Autocross car last season. I changed to the Kumho V730 early this season and it’s a game changer.
Eventually I got a set of Continental Kryptotal Fr/Re in 2.4" trail casing and endurance compound, and I haven't looked back since. The knobs are massive, and yet they roll super fast and grip super well. They perform so well in every metric that it just doesn't make sense, but I'll take it!
So far I love these new Continentals.
Kumhos rock. I’ve always been pleased with mine.
Its 100% the tires. Im usually super picky on tires but these Kumhos are nice and made specifically for EVs.
Had a 2023 AWD pro S loaner for a few days while my 22 same was in the shop. Wow, the ride on the Kumho tires felt smooth. And was there improvement on the suspension between model years? Or maybe that was the tire too.
I like the Kumho Majesty 9 tires I put on it. Drives like luxury.
I always get Continental's "control contact sport SRS+" for my 1st gen. Not the most expensive, but I wouldn't describe it as shoestring either.
Mine is studded Kumho Wintercraft. It's actually quite good in the snow and ice, soft. But if we take the snow and ice out of the picture it's not that great, probably cause of studs.
I bought Continental LX25’s. They felt unsure, unstable, kind of jittery right from day 1 at high speed. New replacement set feels slightly better but still not smooth as glass. The steering wheel doesn’t shake, but I feel through the seat and floor a sense of unsteadiness. Like the car is a bit jittery, where the Michelins felt smooth as glass. BUT - I also can’t believe these tires are so junky. They weren’t cheap tires. They feel great up to 50mph , ok from 50-65, and then above 70 it’s jittery.
