Tires Kumho or Goodyear
Kumho is a well built tire from Korea.
I wouldnt trust 11 year old tires with my life. I‘ve had 6 year old goodyears and compared to a new set it was like night and day.
the Kumho TA51 (assuming TA51a as it is the current production) is a well reviewed and tested very low rolling resistance tire, thanks to a silica-enhanced tread compound. Most reviewers and owners over time generally note a small INCREASE in fuel economy of 1-3 MPG.
tyre says GY there so i assume thats GOODYEAR brand. 185 GY tyre sells about 200-220 ish new on the market so maybe 50 profit.
I had two sets of the Kumho Crugen HT51 SL. I liked both times and they lasted about 40,000 miles each. Seemed low but they're snow rated so I know those don't get as many miles because the rubber is softer. They handled great in snow/sleet/ice and enabled my front wheel drive van to go through lots of winter weather driving.
This last set (third owned) pissed me off though and barely made it 18,000 miles even with proper inflation and alignment.
Hab auf meinem Ford Fusion Goodyear Vector 4Season (Gen-2, gibt mittlerweile Gen-3) montiert. Grippen meiner Meinung nach gut, auch auf Schnee kein Problem.
All season banden Goodyear Vector Gen3 heb ik goede ervaringen mee. Na 65dkm had ik voor nog 4mm profiel. Achter nog meer (want fwd).
Put 265/40R-20 Goodyear Eagle Sport on my 2021 MYLR and handling seems the same. As a by product I get no more curb rash.
I hated the Eagle RS-A that came stock on my '01 Jetta. Noisy, terrible traction, and fast wearing.
Goodyear tires SUCK. Every Goodyear I've ever run - from trailers, cars and trucks - had a blowout. Not just flat, they EXPLODED.
