Tires Kumho or PHANTOM
If they are anywhere close to as bad as the Kumhos that came on my GLI, your not going to have a good time. Get some Michelin Cross Climate 2s. they are supposed to be the best all around tire available.
If you are looking for something cheaper,
Kumho Majesty 9 solus can also be an option
Their noise around the same level as top brand grand tourinf tires... like pirelli p7 as 3 or micherlin mxv4, continental pure contact.
very good at dry weather and acceptable at wet,
ride quality is good, but soso steering response.
Snow traction is vevevevery bad with this tire, almost the level if summer tire,but its georgia.
personally, I liked it.
I decided to swap the OEM Kumho tires for a set of CC2s with just 350 miles on the car.
My butt sensor says the CC2s ride a lot more softly than the OEM Kumhos. The ride feels more compliant and less sharp over potholes, expansion joints, etc. I find the CC2's ride to be noticeably better than the Kumhos. The CC2s also solved 90% of the steering wheel vibration issue.
I have kumho tires on my car. I bought it brand new in 2020 and they are just getting to the point where I will probably need to replace them in the next few months. I have 39,000 miles on my car so I guess that's pretty good for a mid-grade tire.
I got the KU22 all seasons on my 4th gen 3 sedan a few weeks ago and its pretty nice. Not that much road noise, good grip.
I’ve been running Kuhmo from Walmart for nearly 2 years and they’ve been awesome!
I'm running on Kumhos, so I can't say much about others. Kumho (KM17) is OK, but it generates a flat spot in few weeks if car just sits and then first 10 miles are bumpy. Quite cheap so perhaps I can stand that, but not really much cheaper than others, so I won't buy another set.
Mine is studded Kumho Wintercraft. It's actually quite good in the snow and ice, soft. But if we take the snow and ice out of the picture it's not that great, probably cause of studs.
The Kumho are crap in the rain. I was facing hydroplaning issues within a week of buying the car.
The did do it in a decently controlled way but I have not been impressed with the stock tires at all. Not to mention I have 20k on them and about 10% of tread left.
I have a US spec 2022 Wind AWD with 23,000 miles on these Kumho tires. In my less than 9 months of ownership I've had two tires patched from slow leaks and I just had to have the foam lining removed from a tire since it separated from the inner tire wall and created massive vibrations in the steering wheel.
