Tires Kumho or Vredestein
I’ve been running Kuhmo from Walmart for nearly 2 years and they’ve been awesome!
In that size, and I know because I run the same, is the unsexy (and unbothered by it) Kumho Ecsta V730. Good tire, quick tire, lives well with the heat, takes abuse from camber limited cars, and is the cheapest super 200 out there.
I can say that I really like my Hypertrac All Seasons. I would absolutely buy another set of Vredesteins that review/test well.
They're gonna be good tires. Vredestein has been moving toward the high end market and it looks like they're trying to make a statement with this one, judging by the reviews. I'd say go for them! Honestly if I had heard about these when I was shopping I'd have bought them.
I change from then OEM hankook ventus2 to high performance all season Kumho Ecsta PA51 and I love the,. They handle almost as good as the OEM summer performance tires but are much safer in winter, even though Texas winters aren’t terribly cold it does snow here and does drop,below freezing. It’s simply unsafe to drive summer tires below freezing. The kumhos handle very welll to and they are not expensive. And highly recommend.
Replaced my oem kumhos at 35k. Replaced them with Phantom CSports. ($850 for the set). No complaints and the range doesn't looked to be effected by more than a few miles.
They are excellent IMO, feel just as good as my previous Conti DWS, but I got these for a much better price, from TireRack. They are a European company, great quality tires, just a lesser known brand here.
Great all year round, I'm in the Northeast, they ran beautifully over the winter.
UHP and very durable, I'm close to changing them after 75.000km
I'm running on Kumhos, so I can't say much about others. Kumho (KM17) is OK, but it generates a flat spot in few weeks if car just sits and then first 10 miles are bumpy. Quite cheap so perhaps I can stand that, but not really much cheaper than others, so I won't buy another 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.
