Tires Kumho or FULDA
Get whatever is a good deal on Blackcircles or similar for name brand tyres, I like the sort of Avon/Yokohama/Kumho end of the market, find something with good wet grip and noise ratings.
I have Kumho Crugen on my 4runner. But I am very happy with these tires. No road noise at all.
Went with the 730s all around this year, much much happier.
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.
I couldn’t find them recently for my wife’s CX-9 so we went with Kumho Crugens and they have also been great.
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
I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.
I tried kumhos on my gti and x3. Not happy with them. After some wear they get really loud and feel un balanced
The kuhmo solus are the worst tires I've ever seen cost way to much for what they actually do for mileage. I've seen brand new kia's with <20k miles need brand new tires after being factory equipped with Solus's.
