Tires Kumho or SUMITOMO
One of the best tires I've owned. I had to emergency brake on a rainy day and man... my car was like glued to the road, no slipping, and stopped immediately. Their grip is amazing. On the durability side it is great too.
Just got a set on my winter stock wheels about a week ago now. I love the look. I'm currently running Sumitomo Ice Edge tires in the size 245/25/18. I previously had a set of Blizzarks (245/40/18) and can't really feel any significant difference in performance with the taller sidewall.
Kumho Solus Ta51a is a quality, long lived all season touring tire thats not super expensive.
My used CX-30 came with Kumho Crugen HP71 that are really great for road noise and all weather. The single snow storm we had so far it handled very well!
V730 lasts like the RS4, but is way faster.
Kumho v730 are pretty affordable in super class. But endurance 200 will save $$.
Yeah, they're alright. Brother had a set on his 2016 Fiesta and didn't have much ill to say. He reckoned they were noisier than the original Goodyear's that came with the car but was happy with the traction.
Reviews say its major shortcoming is that it generates a lot of loud noise.
I also have a bit of personal experience with Kumho - Wintercraft winter rubber. I don't like it honestly...
Im a tech who has installed these (customer requested) and had them on one of my cars a few years ago. The only good points about them were the tread wear and the affordable cost. They have a VERY hard compound which means they lose traction easy. I was told by a customer, as well as my experience, that they spun very easily on wet surfaces and were terrible in the snow. They were also noisy at highway speeds. I do NOT recommend them and dont sell them unless requested.
