HS52 is pretty solid, given the recent balance between Kumho and Toyo I would expect it to outperform the Toyo.
I have used Kumho touring tires on two different BMWs and I thought they were great for a mid priced tire.
Have the Kumho Ecsta, standard fitted here in the Netherlands. Have to say they are very silent and durable. Drove approx 37k km with them. Have also Continental Premiumcontact winter/snow tyres. Not bad too.
I literally just got these installed last week and I am really happy with them. Way better grip and quieter than the stock falken tires.
I like Achilles but not sure they still make them. Best cheapest tire that stretches really well.
Had Kumhos on my Celica for 4 years and they’ve been pretty decent to be fair, even wear aswell.
I used to run kumho ecstas on my saabs and they were great all seasons. Handle well in the dry and safe in the snow. Best tires I've had at that price point and they were good enough that i wouldn't bother spending more.
i had the kumho asx in 18" first on my rabbit then transferred to my gti. with them being new on the rabbit, they were great in the dry and wet. after about 18k miles and transferred to the gti, they were great in the dry and wet until tuned. stage 1 was fine but with stage 2 the dry grip was just not there. right when you need traction the most from 4.5k to 6k in second gear the tires just spun. dry traction grip was improved after switching back to the goodyear eagle of the same size. also the road noise got loud as hell.
The worst OEM tires I ever had were Kumho's. Shot at 30k and had been rotated.
They suck lol. They are loud, they hyrdoplane like a motherfucker, grooved pavement like overpasses makes them do this weird shimmy thing, and they wear quick. They cause the ABS to kick on super early, and lose traction fast.
