Tires Kumho or OEM FORD
Rotating tires, system checks, and topping off the windshield fluid.
One set of tires is my only out of pocket maintenance expense.
My maintenance has been a new set of tires, new wiper blades, gallons of wiper fluid.
I got a set of Kumho EVO tires for my Model Y about 15 months ago, and they turned out to be a pretty substantial upgrade from the Continental ProContacts the car came with.
I have kumho ecsta ZR "performance all seasons" on my 97 986. I drive the thing pretty hard, not too many curvy roads around here but it handles good. I really don't have any complaints, I daily drive this car and another.
Now I have Kumho Road Venture AT52 275/70/17 E-load. They are aggressive and are heavy but I do not rub on normal highway driving or light off road use. Good tires.
The HA32 has pretty OK performance for an all-weather tire, it placed mostly in the middle of the pack in this review. Wet braking performance is a little behind the competition.
Leaving aside whether or not the mechanic should have changed them, the difference in quality and performance between Kumho and Bridgestone is negligible, virtually nil.
I do have the exact same size on my 2019 Ford Taurus Limited. Can't remember exactly when I put them on without looking for the tire receipt, but I don't think they're anything special. They wear fast, & to me they're loud. Actually looking for some new tires too. But I know I won't be getting these again.
Very unhappy with these OE Kumho Solus TA31"s.
