Tires Kumho or Giti
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.
I live in Utah and have Giti Champiro tied on my Kia Rio. They are very good tires, ride well, and are somewhat quiet. They are as good as Hankooks or Goodyear. The are somewhat lacking in ice but nonetheless really good tires.
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.
The Kumho's aren't that bad in noise, until you get to the halfway point, then it starts to get noisy.
Falken RT660 suck when temps are below 60F as even in the dry the rears won't get enough heat in them to work properly until around runs 5-6. Kumho V730 do better in cool dry weather than the RT660, but they're not a rain tire (at least not here in the Pacific NW).
Kumho tires don’t last, the rubber cracks out.
