Tires Kumho or WEST LAKE
I’ve ran Ecstas on all my cars they’re good tires
After blowing out a tire on a particularly nasty pothole I replaced my stockers with a set of Kumho Ecsta PA51 XLs. These are a nice, reasonably priced set of ultra-high performance all seasons that I'd been running on my MR2 Turbo and been very happy with.
Mine are 7 years old and the best tires shop in my town said that I still have 10-12k miles left on them. I decided to replace with the exact same ones though, since my car sits in FL sun whole days. They are excellent.
Our OEM Kumho Crugens are around 4/32” at 54,000 miles. We have found them to be just fine, quiet and smooth with no punctures or other incidents.
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
V730
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.
730s are pretty disappointing as an autocross tire. They thrive on heat, but it’s hard to get them hot enough that they will work well for autox. They are awful in cold weather.
The a while they had an issue with tread separation. Ton of them got recalled. They’ve been fine since but reputation is tainted. Ran a set years ago. They didn’t separate on me but they were built thin so potholes and the sight of nails would puncture them.
