Tires Kumho or Sailun
We have a 2023 AWD Pro S with the same tires. We just replaced at 30k. They probably could have gone another 5k or so, but one tire had a slow leak and they wouldn’t even try to repair it due to age of the tire. We got the same tires again at Discount/Americas Tire because they seemed fine
V730, Conti ECF, hankook RS4 is the way to go for endurance 200 and or less $$ per lap
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.
Hey all, would just like to share my experience with the solus ha32 4 season by kumho. These tires were installed at 173,000km last September and currently have 188,000km… around 15,000km give or take 10,000 miles in all types of weather. They are nearing end of life already.. thoughts? Overall they do ok in the snow but arent amazing. Noise isnt horrible, but the wear holy man this is crazy. I had the front suspension replaced as well as an alignment on the day of tire installation.
The Phantoms are a decent tire for the price. They're a Discount Tire brand but manufactured by Kumho. I'd personally recommend the Phantom because both tires are fairly equal but those are cheaper. That being said they're both not particularly good. They'll get the job done and that's about it.
I bought cheap Kumhos once. Short life span and too slippery to drive on even though they still had some tread.
I've had mine for about 34k miles. I don't think they're very good tires. They started out great, but road noise became very noticeable after about 20k miles. The tires seem hard now. Seems like the car wants to slide on turns in light rain. Currently getting some shake from one of the tires at 63-73 mph, but keep in mind this started after replacing a bad bearing.
