Tires Kumho or Cooper
With innovative tech, a capable rubber compound, and a wide range of options and sizes, the upcoming Kumho's performance range is great news for all high-speed enthusiasts who are looking for dependable and affordable rubber.
Hands down the Cooper Cobra Instinct out of those listed.
I put some Kumho Crugen on my grandmas van and they were great. She did a few trips from LA to Sacramento(7 hr). No issues.
I have a 2017 cx5 gt. I live in Pennsylvania with horrible roads, so I went with cooper discoverer enduramax, and I love them. Performed great in the two snow storms so far.
The cooper tires, just had them installed on my work van, good traction, no noise
I don't know about these inparticular but I drove AT51 Kuhmos back when I had a 07 Liberty in Syracuse, NY.
I hiked and camped regularly with friends as well. Drove on trails, did moderate off-roading, heavy snow, ice, heavy rain, on top of it being my daily driver, so plenty of highway miles as well.
They lasted me 55K (rotated 4 times during ownership)
Never had a flat, great traction, great price.
One of the best tires I've owned. I had to emergency brake on a rainy day and man... my car was like glued to the road, no slipping, and stopped immediately. Their grip is amazing. On the durability side it is great too.
Overall happy with my Kumho Roadventure AT51 on my F150. Not the best on pure ice, but only real complaint on the F150 is they don’t seem to last as long as I’d like, but I run them all year and I’ll get equivalent of about 30,000mi out of a set, heavy truck, all year, towing, winter, mud, highway, you name it - and a lot of roundabouts in my neck of the woods which is apparently known to be hard on them… from chatting with buddies I get about 90% of the kms they get on a set of BFG KO2, but they cost about 20-30% less typically, and are quieter, and seem roughly equal capability otherwise.
Cooper tires are a joke. I just got a set and one popped on a gravel road and the other just started losing air for no reason.
These photos show what happened to two of my 265/75R16 E rated Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires after 4 years and 25k miles. One blew up and one developed a bulge.
