Tires Kumho or Goodyear
V730 are perfect. The wear like iron, are very predictable and most important for a track day tire- don’t have heat cycling issues.
I’ve had good luck with “value” level Kumhos and Generals. Currently I drive a used BMW with over 300hp that came with budget Kumhos. They were brand new so I kept them. When they wore out I replaced them with expensive Continentals. I absolutely noticed the difference in quality
Well, I’m the OP, and I ended up getting a set of Goodyear Wrangler Radials 235/75r/15. It’s been about 4 months with these tires, and these ride really cushy and soft which I like, compared to the Kumho regular all season tires that I used to have which used to ride like complete trash over potholes and bumps.
Also, the Goodyear wrangler radials have pretty good traction even in the rain, and surprisingly quiet for an all terrain tire.
I got the Goodyear Reliant on my 2016 Crosstrek and they are very nice and ride especially quiet. Very happy with my purchase for the price paid.
My personal experience with Kumho is that they make good value for money tires. I'd get them. They score decent in tests and seem to last long wich results in quite low running costs.
I got 50k out of a set of OEM LS-2’s on my AWD Ford Fusion. Not a Goodyear guy at all, but these tires were very good.
I run Goodyear EagleSports ($125 a tire) all seasons and they’re fantastic. Had them for 4 years now and they’ve gotten me thru everything from 1/2ft of rainfall to 2ft of snow all without losing grip.
Goodyear Wrangler Territory, decent in snow but I wouldn’t drive em in deep snow
Wild peaks> I have had a few sets of duratracs and for off-roading they have performed the least desirably in all terrain (no pun intended) snow/mud they gunk up and slide super easily, sand, I would have to drop to 8-9psi to get the same effect of going down to my normal 14psi in sand. Rock, not much of an opinion here I had these on a Colorado so it diddnt see much rock crawl if any at all. And the road noise is super loud and they wear super fast and uneven.
I replaced the Michelins on my Lincoln mKX with Goodyear weatheready tires. There is no comparison between the weatherready and the Michelins defender. The weatheready feels like it has a one ply sidewall when compared to the Michelin defender. The old worn out defenders ride better than the new weathereadys, buy the Michelins!
