Tires Kumho or Vredestein
I like the Kumho Crugens that came on my ‘23 as OEM. AT 14k miles the seem to be holding up well, though the rears are showing slightly more wear than the fronts.
Loving my Vredestein Hitracs. Feel great, super quiet and cushy, but still really grippy and confidence-inducing in the rain or in corners.
Vredenstein. Have Quatrac Pros on my V60 PE and they’re better than Michelin all seasons I’ve used.
I have Vredestein QUATRAC PRO XL 98Y on my V60, really like them so far
I have Kumho winters and have zero complaints about them.
After looking on tire rack and having some more conversations with my shop I’m going to go with the Verdestein Quatrac Pro’s slightly lower scores in some of the categories than the CrossClimates but still look like a highly rated tire and gonna save me close to $300
I had them on my wife’s XC70. They’re a pretty good tire.
Take a look at the kumho ecsta pa51. I got a set this summer and am happy with them. Plus they were very affordable.
I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.
To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.
Kumho’s no idea what type of Kumho. But they’re absolutely terrible.
