Tires Kumho or PHANTOM
I’ve had good luck with “value” level Kumhos and Generals. Currently I drive a used BMW with over 300hp that came with budget Kumhos. They were brand new so I kept them. When they wore out I replaced them with expensive Continentals. I absolutely noticed the difference in quality
My personal experience with Kumho is that they make good value for money tires. I'd get them. They score decent in tests and seem to last long wich results in quite low running costs.
I actually just grabbed a set of Kumho solus 4s all weather for Canadian driving and I absolutely love them on my awd suv! It was between those and the falcon wildpeak AT trail …both had great reviews so I went with the Kumho because slightly cheaper and I think I can see myself buying these again
Currently have their All-weathers Kumho HA 32. Snowed a ton in BC and having no issues on plowed roads and sidestreets. Handles much better in rain than my OEM Bridgestone Ecopias. Burns ~10-15% more gas in comparison thou.
Spend the extra $ and get the Kuhmos. Kumho Ecsta PA51 is pretty good for a budget UHP tire. It does seem a bit weak on winter traction though….
I second the kumhos v730. For the price they are pretty hard to beat. They don’t heat up as fast as ao52’s but the grip level is similar and they last longer
Kumho Ecstas aren’t the best but they’re very affordable and do the job well. More grip, quieter and better ride than OEM.
I replaced my Proxes with Kumho Ecsta PA51. They feel more comfy, but feel like they have a bit more road noise.
I had to replace all 4 Kuhomos at about 12k as I blew two out. Now sitting at 24k and they’re almost halfway worn on one set.
That’s probably the number 1 thing I research when I buy tires now, I hate the loud hum some tires get as they wear. I’ve had two sets of Kumhos and I won’t be buying a third.
