the Kumho TA51 (assuming TA51a as it is the current production) is a well reviewed and tested very low rolling resistance tire, thanks to a silica-enhanced tread compound. Most reviewers and owners over time generally note a small INCREASE in fuel economy of 1-3 MPG.
I had them on an 2015 Accord sedan for four+ years(7/8 months per year), fantastic tires unfortunately I cannot attest to snow as I switch over to Hakkapeliitta 9 in Mid November as we have a Winter Tire Law in Quebec Canada. They are very good on the wet, great on dry, not particularly loud and wear relatively well but tire pressure and one good alignment a year is a must in Montreal with the fluctuations in Temperature and pot holes in the spring/summer...
I had two sets of the Kumho Crugen HT51 SL. I liked both times and they lasted about 40,000 miles each. Seemed low but they're snow rated so I know those don't get as many miles because the rubber is softer. They handled great in snow/sleet/ice and enabled my front wheel drive van to go through lots of winter weather driving.
This last set (third owned) pissed me off though and barely made it 18,000 miles even with proper inflation and alignment.
I went with Kumho, competitive pricing and I’ve had them on a few years now and 30k miles. Still looking good
got some kumho crugen HT51. similar to a michelin LTX. these are E load rated. i have 6 of them on my 24ft class c. bought these in 2020. we've put on over 30k miles with them. still very good
My wife wanted a tire that was more comfortable, quieter, and had better treadwear than the OEM summer tires. So far, we're really happy with these tires.
Even though there's no acoustic foam like on our OEM tires, they're quieter. They're practically silent up to 50mph but there's a slight hum at freeway speeds. They're not as loud as the OEM Continentals.
They're also much more comfortable than the OEM summer tires. With the Ohlins suspension and OEM Continentals, the Polestar 2 was surprisingly jarring over small bumps on the road. One thing that I noticed was that the Nokian sidewalls seem to be pretty soft/flexible.
Tread life should be solid. Handling/Performance feels like 85% of the OEM tires.
All in all, these aren't track tires. Nor are they the sportiest tires in the UHP All-Season class. But they're a super practical choice for a wide range of coupes and sedans - they should wear well, they're comfortable, and provide enough grip to have fun.
I'm proud I bought Nokian winter tires few years ago. They weren't that expensive, about €75 each considering Continental were something like €120 each.
I bought a car new and it had Kumho tires on it, i’ve had zero issues and they’re still only about halfway through their life according to my last service. So I’ve had a good experience with them.
Looks like I made it to about 38,000 miles on these Nokian One Tires and starting to show the cord.
Nokian Outposts: 2,390 mi. 9.8% worse efficiency. Would not recommend Nokians: Probably great offroad. Nothing short of scary on road. These tires are totally overwhelmed with the weight and power combo of the Rivian quad platform.
