I switched my '25 Turbo to the Kumho Crugen HP71's and am very happy with the increased sound insulation and performance. Much better in rain than the Toyos I had (which developed a giant bump on the side wall 3k miles in).
This is new release from Kumho, so reviews were sparse with the exception of one from Germany. I have about 500 mi on the tires, they are awesome! I can get traction now WOT in 1st, they have a stiffer sidewall which makes them responsive and planted in corners. Further, the ride is quiet and smooth which is important to me for a DD.
I've had the previous Kumho Ecsta Sport on a different car for budgetary reasons. They were great for a few months, but I felt like they lost a ton of grip after 10k miles or so. Longevity was my only complaint, but it was for my daily so even without a ton of grip, I'd consider them a good buy for value.
I get a lot of kms out of kumho solus
I have the same year and trim and tires. Just went in today for the 30K check (30,500 miles), and I have 5/32 on the front, 2/32 on the back. I am planning on changing all four now, just debating which tires to get. I'll probably get the Kumho Crugen's again, as they seemed really quiet.
I’ve ran Ecstas on all my cars they’re good tires
I find Kumhos Start going really hard as soon as the first few mm come off. Great for longevity but not great for ride and grip after first year.
I heard Kumho don't last very long, but are good for the first 10,000 miles and not good at all by 30,000 miles.
I think it’s gotta be the Kumho all seasons I have on my DD right now, they have absolutely zero grip even on perfectly dry warm roads
Stay away from Kumho tires, I’m just a Dad with a Sienna for the family, but I had a Honda Fit I drove 4 miles to the office for work. Got a pair of Kumho 80k rated, thought would be the last I’d have to buy. Worn out at barely 21k on them, on a Fit that don’t weigh much more than a lawnmower.
