Tires Kumho or PHANTOM
The V730s are bulletproof and I was able to get about 150 runs out of them before they heatcycled out.
If you're in arizona and it's not going to rain then go for the v730 all day. The v730 likes heat way better, and you'll get more runs out of a set.
Kumho V730s.
Kumho PA31.
They’re my go-to for my dailies. Fairly priced, great wet performance and they’re pretty sticky and predictable on curvy roads. Currently have some on mine and they’ve seen several autocross weekends, mountain carving nights and are comfortable and pretty quiet during long drives and commuting while retaining good life.
I’m digging my Kumho Solus on my wife’s 3
They are great value for the price. I put them on my VW after the Bridgestone (very noisy) wore out. These have a better, quieter, luxury ride.
I am super sensitive to sound so road noise is a priority for me. I also had a ****ty experience with the Goodyear Comfortdrives on my Sienna and think those might have been part of why I hated that thing. They got stupid loud and rough riding with more mileage. Similar experience with the RSAs that came on my TLX. Never buying Goodyear again. I dont know how much heavy lifting the car is doing but the Kuhmo Crugers on my ID4 have been dead quiet after nearly 10K miles. They seem to be wearing OK as well. I have no idea how they will do in snow and I'm pretty sure they suck traction wise. But it might be worth looking into EV tires. Low rolling resistance should equate to low noise, though I can't speak to ride quality. ID4's ride is a little choppy but I do keep pressures up for more efficiency. It smooths out on the highway so it might be a German suspension thing.
Overall happy with my Kumho Roadventure AT51 on my F150. Not the best on pure ice, but only real complaint on the F150 is they don’t seem to last as long as I’d like, but I run them all year and I’ll get equivalent of about 30,000mi out of a set, heavy truck, all year, towing, winter, mud, highway, you name it - and a lot of roundabouts in my neck of the woods which is apparently known to be hard on them… from chatting with buddies I get about 90% of the kms they get on a set of BFG KO2, but they cost about 20-30% less typically, and are quieter, and seem roughly equal capability otherwise.
I bought cheap Kumhos once. Short life span and too slippery to drive on even though they still had some tread.
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.
