Tires Kumho or Firestone
6months and 15k miles into a set of these on a ford escape. They're quiet and wearing well so far. Not as quiet as Goodyear which is the same price but still a quiet tire.
Therefore Firestone builds a tire that doesn't require tire blankets to have a safe level of performance.
A set of studded Firestone winterforce..
7 seasons and still great.
I've driven about 200 miles on my new Weatherpeaks on my stock Subaru Outback. I was shocked with how good the tires performed in the downpour. On very wet roads with massive puddles, the Weatherpeaks felt like my old tires did on completely dry roads. Grip was fantastic. No slipping at all. Even when I hit really large puddles at speed I didn't hydroplane. The tires do feel slightly "softer" in the turns when its dry than the stock tires but they still feel great...and are a much smoother and quieter ride overall. Even on dry roads I feel like the car has better control.
I couldn’t find them recently for my wife’s CX-9 so we went with Kumho Crugens and they have also been great.
Notably less road noise than the fire Stones I had before and pretty good grip. I'm happy with them.
I got kumho ecsta on my wrx right now.
Yeah my MX5 had Kumo when I got it, and it loved to throw the rear and squeal a bit. Put RE003’s on it when I got a bit of money, holy shit. Suddenly grip monster
Khumu Solus: 60,000 mile tread warranty. About $115/tire. Hard to tell on efficiency because it also got super cold right after I installed them, but they seem fine, and for the price and tread warranty, I will take a minor efficiency hit.
Kumho Solus - noisy at napakatigas to the point na matagtag ang ride kahit bawas na ng tire pressure. Bumukol yun isang gulong ko kahit hindi naman ako nalubak ng malalim. Not recommended in my opinion.
