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.
Kumho Solus Ta51a is a quality, long lived all season touring tire thats not super expensive.
I’ve only got a focus st but my firestone fire hawk indy500s have been really nice to me. Not 200tw so they’ll last longer but lots of grip and not terribly expensive
I've really enjoyed my Firestone Indy 500s. Plenty of grip and they give confidence in the rain.
My used CX-30 came with Kumho Crugen HP71 that are really great for road noise and all weather. The single snow storm we had so far it handled very well!
I'm waiting on my factory tires to get a little more wear on them before I replace them. However, when I do I know I'm going with a much better set of Firestone tires then what the factory put.
I used to run Kumho tires on my 99 SE-L maxima when I was in my early 20's they were decently performing tire. I pretty much only ran their UHP summer tires though. As a brand they've been around for a long long time, they are probably upper mid-range tires depending on the type you have.
that's just a Firestone employee doing their upsell activity - same reason why the Jiffy Lube clowns like to tell you that you are overdue for transmission or brake fluid service.
I would recommend just outright avoiding Firestone. Aside from Firestone tires being garbage (except the Transforce line)
