Tires Kumho or WEST LAKE
So, back to Kumho I went for my 2017 Passat. This time, I really looked at customer feedback and choose the highest rated ones, the Kumho Majesty 9 Solus line. All season radial. So many people who had Audi, BMW, and Lexus swore by them. Got 'em on with a front end alignment of course. OMG! This is the quietest this car has ever driven. It glides along the road. We can whisper in the car and hear each other.
I really like my kumho AT's ????????♂️
Kumho makes solid tires. I had a set of the PA31 and they did well.
I have used Kumho tires for many years now. Quiet and smooth. Never had a problem.
I have Westlake SU318's on my Ranger now and they are cheap and fantastic. Great wet grip and very quiet.
I just put a set of Kumho Solus TA11 on mine. Smooth, quiet, balanced well. No complaints here.
I run Falkens, but used to run Kumho, and they wear pretty quick.........
The Kumho's aren't that bad in noise, until you get to the halfway point, then it starts to get noisy.
Kumho tires don’t last, the rubber cracks out.
Westlake tires are becoming a "known" brand name. It still doesn't change the fact they are a low end Chinese tire. That said, they will wear out fast as with all other Chinese tires the tread compound is very soft (low treadware rating). They don't hug corners well, there not fantastic at shuttling water, they are horrible in adverse terrain/weather, & they can be difficult to balance.
