I don't know if it is still relevant, but I put this Phantom on my 2020 Ridgeline, and I’m very happy. I saved at least $200. The tires were a little bit noisy in the beginning but after the first month much better ???? keep road as champ even under heavy rain. Totally recommend this tires!
Pros: keep road as champ
Cons: noisy in the beginning
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
Just got a 2021 sq5 today, comes with 5 year CPO, so it has like 3 years left. My intention is to drive it for 4-5 years, they quoted me like 3.5k CAD after tax for two years. So ill have factory warranty until 2028.

Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.
Pros: may wear well (hard rubber)
Cons: poor traction, not safe, avoid cheap
They’re good for me since my car has camber and will just destroy the tires anyways
Pros: good for camber wear
Grip will be more than fine. Nice soft compound. Performance will be lovely. At first. They will not last. Structural failures before tread is used up, are common. But new is better than old, so if that's what you can afford, go for it.
Pros: nice soft compound, good initial performance
Cons: will not last, structural failures
They're Chinese junk. They sorta work, but have 20% less traction and 50% less lifetime.
Pros: sorta work
Cons: less traction, less lifetime
Don’t go with phantom I work at discount tire and I’ve heard so many people say that if there’s even a little bit of water on the road they lose traction
Cons: lose traction in water
never heard of this brand = dont buy. for a daily car with that much annual mileage buy a reputable brand.
Cons: unreputable brand
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
