I just went with the Goodyear Electric Drive 2s. Only driven a few hundreds miles on them so far but efficiency seems about the same as the OEMs and rain performance has been better.
I've been a fan of Goodyear Duratracs on my last 2 trucks (including my current one), specifically LT275/65R20. The aggressive profile looks great, and the 65 profile helps fill in the space in the wheel well without rubbing. The tread is slightly over .5" and I've used them over 65k miles.
Incredibly lucky. Send those to Kumho, they would happily use these photos.
Just swapped in Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner AT Light truck tires at 275/65/20 on Friday and they are night and day different from the road noise of the Scorpions.
I've been a Goodyear customer for almost 20 years. I've had their Assurance all-season on many cars and suvs. I used to swear by Michelin until I had to buy my own tires. That being said, Michelin at Costco seems ok.
You really need to get the new Goodyear Electric Drive 2's. They're amazing in wet weather and they're whisper quiet with no noticeable loss in range.
Yeah the territory MT that come stock on cars have notoriously thin sidewalls and are being advertised to do all this extreme off-roading, but the aftermarket spec territory MT is a bit better.
I ran V730s for the entire year last year on an STU M340i xDrive. It's a heavy car that can really put heat into the kumhos and the awd helped with v730's abysmal traction. It is as fast as the big 2 in the tight corners however judging by my GPS and accelerometer data.
Tires (Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum) were installed 6/25/2024 @ 151,xxx miles (with receipts). Manufactured date is May 2023. Currently, car has 165,xxx miles. As you can see, the two front (now rotated to rear) tires are bald! The other two tires have a normal amount of tread remaining however. I was running about 1° of camber front and rear, and explains why the inside is more worn, but doesn't explain the overall accelerated wear that occurred only on the fronts. I also have an alignment report showing only the front left Toe is out of spec (-0.39° measured vs. +/-0.08 spec).
In my opinion, this would fall under the warranty via excessive/premature tire wear, but of course I imagine any shop would fuss about the lack of rotation. To make matters worse, I purchased and installed these tires at Walmart, which I'm now learning isn't an authorized Kumho installer and Kumho's warranty form says they must be installed by an authorized installer. However, Walmart's own listing for the tires says it's covered by a 50k mile tread life warranty (see last photo).
Skoda Octavia Neuwagen wurde mit kumho ausgeliefert. Der reifen ist für mich Lebensgefährlich im Nassen. Absolut 0 traktion nur am rumrutschen.
