After blowing out a tire on a particularly nasty pothole I replaced my stockers with a set of Kumho Ecsta PA51 XLs. These are a nice, reasonably priced set of ultra-high performance all seasons that I'd been running on my MR2 Turbo and been very happy with.
Mine are 7 years old and the best tires shop in my town said that I still have 10-12k miles left on them. I decided to replace with the exact same ones though, since my car sits in FL sun whole days. They are excellent.
Our OEM Kumho Crugens are around 4/32” at 54,000 miles. We have found them to be just fine, quiet and smooth with no punctures or other incidents.
We have a 2023 AWD Pro S with the same tires. We just replaced at 30k. They probably could have gone another 5k or so, but one tire had a slow leak and they wouldn’t even try to repair it due to age of the tire. We got the same tires again at Discount/Americas Tire because they seemed fine
V730, Conti ECF, hankook RS4 is the way to go for endurance 200 and or less $$ per lap
I wish they still made Kumho Ecsta XS. Those were awesome and cheap.
I am considering replacing my Kumho Crugen tires KL33 (30k miles) with Falkin wildpeak a/t trail tires on my 2018 Santa Fe AWD. The current tires seem okay but I have never really pushed them.
I am super sensitive to sound so road noise is a priority for me. I also had a ****ty experience with the Goodyear Comfortdrives on my Sienna and think those might have been part of why I hated that thing. They got stupid loud and rough riding with more mileage. Similar experience with the RSAs that came on my TLX. Never buying Goodyear again. I dont know how much heavy lifting the car is doing but the Kuhmo Crugers on my ID4 have been dead quiet after nearly 10K miles. They seem to be wearing OK as well. I have no idea how they will do in snow and I'm pretty sure they suck traction wise. But it might be worth looking into EV tires. Low rolling resistance should equate to low noise, though I can't speak to ride quality. ID4's ride is a little choppy but I do keep pressures up for more efficiency. It smooths out on the highway so it might be a German suspension thing.
Seeing as I am preparing to have to swap them out at 30,000kms I would say they may be one of the worst tires on the market. I do have them (stock) on my EV9 which I have driven relatively gently. Reached out to their warranty department and they refuse to work with me. I don't really want to spend 1500 on a product that drastically underperforms.
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.
