I wish they still made Kumho Ecsta XS. Those were awesome and cheap.
Kumho is a better performance than the defender but defenders are still great.
Khumo v730 - Not as bad in the wet as you might think. Would still be cautious though. And honestly I see this tire being dailied as situational. it will depend on drive train the area you live. If you live in Louisiana or something and it rains all the time I may not have gone with this tire. If you're in Arizona then I'd say this may be the best tire to daily. My area this is the rainy season so it will only really see rain when it's new. My Last event was everything this tire hates cold and wet. About 42 ambient with a wet track. And yes they felt like power wheels tires at times but I never questioned them they still communicated well. And IMO the way this tire communicates is the highlight of it. It's hard to explain, but it's just so clear in what it's doing. If you sim it's like this tire dialed in my FFB setting. That is the best and only way I can think to describe it. They are a chatty tire in the best way possible. Even just road driving them ugh Im in love with these tires.
Am avut KUMHO ECSTA PS71 205/60/16 (de vara) timp de 3 sezoane pe masina si am fost foarte multumit de ele, modelul asta pe 16” tin minte ca statea bine pe teste, m-am documentat destul de mult cand le-am luat.
Am trecut anul trecut la jante pe 17” si am luat tot Kumho, de data asta all season SOLUS 4A HA32+ (225/50/17). Desi nu am fost niciodata fan all season, am ajuns sa fac maxim 10k km pe an cu masina si dupa ultimele ierni am ajuns la concluzia ca bataia de cap e prea mare cu doua seturi separate. Le am din august pe masina si sunt tare multumit si de astea.
Am avut kumho ecsta ps71, si au fost ok timp de 3 ani.
Folosesc Kumho de ani buni. Extrem de mulțumit! Recomand!
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.
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.
No an EV but on an XF Jaguar 2 months and still slippy. Never again am I going to buy Kumho tyres.
