Tires Kumho or SUMITOMO
I literally just got these installed last week and I am really happy with them. Way better grip and quieter than the stock falken tires.
Had Kumhos on my Celica for 4 years and they’ve been pretty decent to be fair, even wear aswell.
I used to run kumho ecstas on my saabs and they were great all seasons. Handle well in the dry and safe in the snow. Best tires I've had at that price point and they were good enough that i wouldn't bother spending more.
2016 mazda 6 touring here..:when i bought the car with 27k miles the dealer put brand new Kuhmo tires on…:i just replaced them at 91k miles with continental extreme contacts. so yes….i would recommend the kuhmo as a good tire. i got 64k miles out of those bastards.
My EV6 Wind has factory issued Kumho tires. Just had my 16k service and the treads are fine. I am hoping to get 40k out of these.
Get whatever is a good deal on Blackcircles or similar for name brand tyres, I like the sort of Avon/Yokohama/Kumho end of the market, find something with good wet grip and noise ratings.
I have Kumho Crugen on my 4runner. But I am very happy with these tires. No road noise at all.
I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.
The kuhmo solus are the worst tires I've ever seen cost way to much for what they actually do for mileage. I've seen brand new kia's with <20k miles need brand new tires after being factory equipped with Solus's.
I've had the sumitomos before. they were ok, quieter but not very grippy. They looked awesome though. They also sucked when it was cold ( turned into bricks and thumped until they warmed up )
