Tires Kumho or Goodyear
Goodyear Electric Drive2 tires at 38psi. Night and day.
I have used Good Year Opti-life pro 3 for the last 100,000 KMS of driving that I have done in the 16 leaf. Around $200 per tyre fitted. I have original rims, so this price is for 205/55-16. I get 38,000 kms on average and I drive hard. I u-turn and reverse a lot as I do food delivery work 150 KMS a day. Highly recommend them.
My CX-50 rides incredibly smooth even on 20” wheels after upgrading to premium all-season tires from the stock Goodyear.
We fitted Kumho Wattruns to our last Leaf, twice, and have also put them (Ecsta PS71s) on our Polestar2 a few months back. Reasonable performance, great price and good mileage based on the Leaf's first set (>40,000km).
Eu mi am luat Kumho și nu ar putea fi mai mulțumit.
Kumho are solid and great value. With studs those things are going to be savage !
I replaced mine with Goodyear Assurance Maxlife tires. I'd never paid attention to tire sounds before, but when I started reading that tires can be loud or quiet, I'm judging these to be loud. Good tires, though.
Goodyear Assurance Maxlife are warranty at 85k miles and will last you about 43k miles down to 3/32th.
I have two sets of these on a pair of 2013,2015 Ford Fusions. 225-50-17.
One tire got a sidewall bubble at a couple months old. Walmart refused to help because I didn't have them install the tires but I suspect they would have come up with other reasons like road hazard to avoid a warranty claim. I was able to talk to Goodyear and have one of their company stores inspect. The cause was a crack at the inner liner splice and air migration into the carcass. They refunded me my purchase price.
A tire on my other car had the same problem in almost the exact same spot also less than a year old. Same result.
Tires are currently 2-3 years old and they have weathering and sidewall cracking. (Parked outside in Michigan). Multiple tires are developing something that looks like a heat ring to varying degrees.
In my opinion Kumho tires are not a good option, they are not cheap and not very good either. Mines started coming apart at 24.000 miles in a brand new Audi Q5.
