Tires Kumho or Maxxis
Go with the Kumhos from Tire Rack. I had really good experience with them
I've used Sumitomo and Kumhos performance summer tires with success - although the Kumho PA31's I put on the Fit have worn super fast and are now quite loud.
Wrapped in Kumho Ecsta V720 tires, have less than 5000 miles on them
Kumho AT51 have been really good. Really quiet, great in winter, but feels like you driving on ice at high speeds (80mph) which is expected from these tires.
I would go for the kumho tires out of those 3, they make some decent tires.
Go with the Khumo. They’re a reputable brand. I’ve heard of some people having issues with the warranty. My personal first hand; they were a great performing tire. I rode mine hard though. So they only lasted about a year and half. It was the MT.
Kumho is a well known brand compared to the rest. I'd do kumho solus before any of them.
Since last time you saw it I upgraded the brakes to 312mm rotors with ATE 57 calipers in front and 256mm disk brakes in the rear and replaced the heavy Mercedes replica 18" wheels with BBS RK's in 8J 17 wrapped in sticky kumho KU-36 rubber.
I have the LX Platinums on my GLI. After 20,000+miles, they show little wear. Handling is definitely noticeably worse than the original summer tires, but not awful. Winter traction was surprisingly good.
I had a set of kumho's on my 08 GTI and they were terrible. Very expensive and terrible performance.
