Tires OEM BMW or Kumho
My used CX-30 came with Kumho Crugen HP71 that are really great for road noise and all weather. The single snow storm we had so far it handled very well!
V730 lasts like the RS4, but is way faster.
Kumho v730 are pretty affordable in super class. But endurance 200 will save $$.
Falken Azenis RT660 or Kumho Ecsta V730. RT660 might be a smidgen faster, but the V730 is more durable and will last for more runs.
I've never had a more tenderfoot set of rubber on any car and was really glad to have worn them out. Replaced with Kumho tires which ride like a noticeable harder compound/tire and have had no punctures since.
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.
The OEM Crugen is a mediocre tire, like most OEM tires, and they’re less than $250 retail.
I only buy continentals. I'd advise you do the same. I've had kumhos before but they were meh.
The V730s are in the bottom of their class in rain performance in Tire Rack's testing and I tend to agree with their ranking.
Im 6000 miles in on my i4 m50 and the tires are about to be replaced. Its a super powerful and super heavy car and it will eat up tires like nothing.
