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
Nokian makes good tractor tires though cause I’ve had a set for over ten years and they look good for their age.
I wish they still made Kumho Ecsta XS. Those were awesome and cheap.
I put these, in this size, on my R1S— they seem great so far (2 weeks). Maybe a little more road noise?
I’ve had 2 sets of Nokians(entyre AS and solstice AW) all of them started cracking really early on. Like within a year. Winter traction is ok treadwear is ok it’s a budget tire at best. Not the quietest or smoothest tires I’ve ever driven on.
My KUMHO tires on my new KIA EV9 are totally bald after 16,000 miles. I suggest that KIA stop using KUMHO tires on their EV9 - why spoil an awesome car with useless tires.
