V730 is only other tire that’s cheap and works well. My personal experience on them is on a Miata, I was shocked how good they worked.
Go with the Kumho V730. They are the cheapest tire per corner, wear VERY well (about 100 runs before they cord…WITHOUT flipping). They are exactly what you need for a low-camber GS car.
I’ve put Weathergrips on three vehicles, and I’ll continue to put them on vehicles if I have to. Phenomenal winter performance (in Southern Ontario) and absolutely brilliant in the wet. Zero hydroplaning. In the summer, I air them up a few pounds over the car manufacturer spec and they respond quite nicely.
Not a Subaru owner :( but I run Firestones xt destination on my yoda and truck. I’ve had Toyo open country’s and wild peaks on my truck and I honestly like the Firestone’s better for everyday use light off roading and styling.
Firestone Indy 500’s are a cheaper option that gives similar grip to continental extreme contact sports. They are just horrendous in the rain
I run them on my Highlander and they have been great. This thing eats tires but they last around 40k miles on the Highlander. Definitely recommend!
I have a set of Kumho Crugens on one of my cars, I like them so far (just installed in October, and we do get winter).
Have a couple sets of the Firestones currently for another car. Will buy more when the need arises.
Spirited street driving with the occasional track day, just fine.
Kuhmo arent bad performance wise i just dont feel like they last as long.
I worked for Firestone installing tires for a while, and those tires are pretty bad. I guess all budget tires are probably the same, but I wouldn't want those on my car. The number of recalls that went out on those was crazy, almost weekly. They also wear pretty damn fast, and don't grip for shit.
