Tires YOKOHAMA or Kumho
3: [Yokohama ADVAN Apex V601]: this is a fav of all the porsche crowd at track days as they offer about 5% less grip than a PS4S or the other two tires I listed, but they will go all day at a track day and never chunk and still get 25k miles out of them.
Khumo v730 - Not as bad in the wet as you might think. Would still be cautious though. And honestly I see this tire being dailied as situational. it will depend on drive train the area you live. If you live in Louisiana or something and it rains all the time I may not have gone with this tire. If you're in Arizona then I'd say this may be the best tire to daily. My area this is the rainy season so it will only really see rain when it's new. My Last event was everything this tire hates cold and wet. About 42 ambient with a wet track. And yes they felt like power wheels tires at times but I never questioned them they still communicated well. And IMO the way this tire communicates is the highlight of it. It's hard to explain, but it's just so clear in what it's doing. If you sim it's like this tire dialed in my FFB setting. That is the best and only way I can think to describe it. They are a chatty tire in the best way possible. Even just road driving them ugh Im in love with these tires.
Am avut KUMHO ECSTA PS71 205/60/16 (de vara) timp de 3 sezoane pe masina si am fost foarte multumit de ele, modelul asta pe 16” tin minte ca statea bine pe teste, m-am documentat destul de mult cand le-am luat.
Am trecut anul trecut la jante pe 17” si am luat tot Kumho, de data asta all season SOLUS 4A HA32+ (225/50/17). Desi nu am fost niciodata fan all season, am ajuns sa fac maxim 10k km pe an cu masina si dupa ultimele ierni am ajuns la concluzia ca bataia de cap e prea mare cu doua seturi separate. Le am din august pe masina si sunt tare multumit si de astea.
Am avut kumho ecsta ps71, si au fost ok timp de 3 ani.
Folosesc Kumho de ani buni. Extrem de mulțumit! Recomand!
Just bought these as I was in the market. I like them. A little more firm of a ride but not terrible. Price was right and I am KUMHO fan and that is who makes these for Discount. In summary if money is an object, good value and I would recommend.
Kumho is a well built tire from Korea.
The Phantoms are a decent tire for the price. They're a Discount Tire brand but manufactured by Kumho. I'd personally recommend the Phantom because both tires are fairly equal but those are cheaper. That being said they're both not particularly good. They'll get the job done and that's about it.
Kumho and theyre crap
Not only do the sidewalls flex at highway speed when you do a lane change, they track all over the place and feel skittish. I had my front end (Prius V) checked out by a shop that I trust, and they drove it on the highway. They agree that there is an instability with this tire.
