Kumho Tires

Daca e să nu fie ceva all season, pot să garantez pentru KUMHO ECSTA HS52, mai era și ceva variantă "Sport", dar overall am dat 800-850 de lei per 4 bucăți, 195 55 15, un tovarăș a dat vreo 1000-1200 pe ceva model sport pe 17 (cred că 205 40 17?) și chiar se țin bine. Ale lui au și lip pentru protecția jantei și se țin chiar ok. Recomand cu căldură.

Pros: se tin bine, recomand

I put Falken 520's on my Stinger about a year ago and have been happy. They seem to be wearing well (for such a heavy car)

Pros: wearing well
Vehicle: Kia

I have a 2013 sport, live in Michigan and just put Falken Aklimates. An all weather snow stamped tire.  Just had my first snow rip in them today and they hook up nice. A little louder than my previous tires (tiger paws).

Pros: hook up nice
Cons: a little louder
Vehicle: Honda Fit

Kumho Tires

Instead of mixing them look into Kumho Wintercraft Plus and get a set of 4. I just bought 215/60/16 at 100€ a tire.

They scored really good (3rd out of 50) on Autobild’s latest test and performed better than some of the big names.

Pros: scored really good

These tires do not have the same level of grip that the Tempesta P1, RE-71RS, A052s, etc. have, so do not buy these thinking you'll be competitive, because you probably won't be.

Besides that, lets start with the good sides of this tire.

-Very consistent. They do not lose grip even as they get hot, nor do they lack a ton of grip when they're cold.

-Fantastic treadwear. These will definitely last you a couple seasons at the very least. They hold their grip well throughout the entirety of the tread range.

-Responds well to inputs. While these don't have the pure grip of a super 200 tire, they respond well to inputs and are eager to change direction when you need to.

Now lets get to the bad.

-VERY unpredictable. If you start hearing even slight tire squealing, you are right on the limit of grip. These tires snap out from under you easily if you're not careful or don't know the characteristics of these tires.

-Like I said before, these lack a lot of grip compared to the super 200s, but thats kinda something you should expect when buying these tires.

Overall, I'd give the RT615K+ a solid 7/10. They're not very competitive but they're a lot of fun, they're a great tire to learn on, they offer good value in the longevity department, but they're unpredictable compared to some other tires.

Pros: very consistent, fantastic treadwear, responds well to inputs, good value, great to learn on
Cons: lack grip, unpredictable, snap out easily, not competitive
Part number: RT615K+

  • Ride comfort:

Tires (Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum) were installed 6/25/2024 @ 151,xxx miles (with receipts). Manufactured date is May 2023. Currently, car has 165,xxx miles. As you can see, the two front (now rotated to rear) tires are bald! The other two tires have a normal amount of tread remaining however. I was running about 1° of camber front and rear, and explains why the inside is more worn, but doesn't explain the overall accelerated wear that occurred only on the fronts. I also have an alignment report showing only the front left Toe is out of spec (-0.39° measured vs. +/-0.08 spec).

In my opinion, this would fall under the warranty via excessive/premature tire wear, but of course I imagine any shop would fuss about the lack of rotation. To make matters worse, I purchased and installed these tires at Walmart, which I'm now learning isn't an authorized Kumho installer and Kumho's warranty form says they must be installed by an authorized installer. However, Walmart's own listing for the tires says it's covered by a 50k mile tread life warranty (see last photo).

Cons: premature wear, bald tires
Mileage: 14000 km
