Tires YOKOHAMA or Kumho
We always buy Yokohamas: been running on them for 30 years.
I’m running on Yokohama’s. The road-grab, is excellent
Kumho is top dog in the midrange right now, I’d go for them.
That said, I’ve had a good experience with the discount tire house branded “Rocky Mountain” tires. They’re 3 peak rated M/S tires. And road noise is not bad at all. I don’t even hear it. I have about 15k on them over the last year or so.
Just bought these at America's Tire (same company as Discount Tire) and couldn't be more happy with their service and the tires. Better than the Kumhos and the car doesn't shudder any more when coming to a stop on loose ground. Ours was 30 minutes away and worth it.
I switched my '25 Turbo to the Kumho Crugen HP71's and am very happy with the increased sound insulation and performance. Much better in rain than the Toyos I had (which developed a giant bump on the side wall 3k miles in).
This is new release from Kumho, so reviews were sparse with the exception of one from Germany. I have about 500 mi on the tires, they are awesome! I can get traction now WOT in 1st, they have a stiffer sidewall which makes them responsive and planted in corners. Further, the ride is quiet and smooth which is important to me for a DD.
Installed some AT tires and new wheels. After 1000 miles my efficiency dropped from 2.4 to 2.1 based on my driving habits and daily commute.
Tires have always been the downfall of the great AWD system they have. Yoko's were the worst!
No an EV but on an XF Jaguar 2 months and still slippy. Never again am I going to buy Kumho tyres.
