Tires Kumho or Goodyear
It all depends on tyres you're using. I'm plowing through all that snow on my all season mid tier kumho Solus with no problems in my caddy van
I’ve got Goodyear Wrangler Duratrack 265/70R16 on my 2020 TRD PRO. They’re loud, but let me tell you a story: December 24, 2023 (or 2022) from Nashville we were heading up to West side of Chicago on I65. The further north we went, the weather turned into a blizzard. Semi’s, cars and trucks were all over the road spun out on the side of the road. Could see maybe 20 feet ahead. Seeing everyone else either spun out or driving about 10MPH. Around Elizabethtown KY, I put my Taco into 4 wheel drive (one click of the dial counter-clockwise). With those DuraTracs and the 4 wheel drive, I was able to go 35-40MPH easy driving and fully in control. By Lafayette, IN we were about the only vehicle on the road. All others left or were spun out. Scared the hell out of us. It was amazing. Now, I don’t know about the other makes, but I‘ll take the noise when it means the safety in terrible situations. IMVHO
I've run Kumho tires on a few cars. They've been fine.
I’ve just gone from Michelin PS5s to the new Kumho PS72 and can highly recommend both. I’ll be sticking to the ps72 now as I think they’re amazing value
I've ran both Kumho Ecsta PS71s and GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6s on my ND2.
Both pretty great.
My next set will be Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. Both tirerack and tyrereview rave about the good blend of traction, comfort, and wet capabilities.
Used Kumho’s brand just fine in the past. But been several years as other tires I’ve looked at had better wet traction / price for my specific tire size so I’ve opted for others more recently.
Not same model # but I just ran Solus on my Elantra, they were OEM from 2023 and got about 50,000 miles on them. Awful in the snow and not great in heavy rain, but if you live in a mild climate and can avoid bad weather as needed they get the job done.
I got Goodyear Reliants and absolutely regretted. By far the loudest tires I've ever had.
Goodyear tires are notorious for doing this. Several factors play a role on why this happens. Overweight from running low air pressure, vehicle sitting for a period of time in the sun.
