Tires NITTO or Kumho
Since last time you saw it I upgraded the brakes to 312mm rotors with ATE 57 calipers in front and 256mm disk brakes in the rear and replaced the heavy Mercedes replica 18" wheels with BBS RK's in 8J 17 wrapped in sticky kumho KU-36 rubber.
I also run the AT51's on my Wrangler. Fantastic tire at a great price. They are smooth, quiet and have excellent traction. I highly recommend.
Nitto trail grapplers by far. Best tyre I’ve used
But the Nitto SN-2 has been long wearing so far, 2 seasons and still plenty of life to go.
I actually have the Kuhmos on my 530, and I've been pretty happy with them. Very quiet and seem to grip well. Just my two cents.
I did. So far so good. For the price they seem great.I had some tiger paw performance tires on my car before and the kumho seen to ride just as well
For the price it's a decent performance street tire.
Kuhmo XS will outperform the Hankook V12 but won't be as good as the aforementioned Star Spec or RS3 or RE11. XS is very sensitive to temperature and rain as it needs to have heat in it for it to work well.
The kuhmo solus are the worst tires I've ever seen cost way to much for what they actually do for mileage. I've seen brand new kia's with <20k miles need brand new tires after being factory equipped with Solus's.
My experience with Kuhmos is they were prone to sidewall bubbles after pot-holes or curb contact.
