Kumho tires are a decent brand.
I would agree with another poster that they are a good mid-tier brand. In that range of tires, you generally pay less and get very good performance.
What I’ve found is the mid tier brands usually give something up to the top tier brands like Michelin. For example, if you get a performance tire, the Kumho might have dry grip that is as good or better than the Michelin, but maybe the tire doesn’t last as long or isn’t quite as good in the rain.
The differences tend to be small, though. And the price premium you pay for top tier brands is usually a larger percentage than the difference in performance.
If you're only buying one set of all seasons year round then nitto neo gen are really good value.
The best option is the Kumho Ecsta PA31. That's what I run in the cool months.
I've got those same tires and I love them. I'll be getting another set of them when this set is through.
Owned two sets of kuhmo LX Platinum excellent budget tire very quiet got 45k miles with a few rotations still didn't hit wear bar when changed. I will say not good at all in any sort of snow.
Not low grip but sticky in yet durable and fairly quick is the Kumho Ecsta V730.
Shit for we weather tough, to be fair
Best tires I’ve ever owned. They’re expensive as shit here in New Zealand, if you can even find them, but they’re worth every penny.
I use them. Good in the rain. But need to get hot on the track for full grip.
Also these Nittos suck lol
Looks like NITTO NT 555 G2s… they suck sorry. Found out the same after I already bought them for my GTO.
