Tires YOKOHAMA or Kumho
I have the Kuhmo Solus TA71 on my 2011 Elantra, and so far they seem to be outstanding tires. They're extremely quiet, and have good traction in dry/wet weather. I've yet to experience that hydroplaning or slippage feeling in the rain. These tires also help out handling and steering. On-center feel is much better now.
I've bought 4 sets of Kumho tires over the last 8 years, Ecsta SPT, XS twice, and most recently v720. I don't have any complaints. All worked well for street, autox, and track use.
I just had Kumho PS91s mounted. Did a little spirited driving today. They feel good.
Just replaced the OEM Yokohama Avid S34D with the Pirelli P7. Already can tell that they are far superior. 7 db quieter than the OEM on same section of road. I got 20k miles out of the Yokohama and the inside shoulder of all 4 were through the first layer of rubber.
Put some super grippy Yokohama's on there and problem solved...
I'm running Yokohama S-Drive's in 195/40's for my 9" and the stretch is good.
Kumho Ecsta ASX are good a/s tires for the price.. and they have free shipping now on this tire? My experience with Kumho tires.. they are good tires, but if you drive them hard they do wear quickly.
Depends on where you live, etc. so far the best tire I have had, in terms of cupping, or lack thereof, are the Kumho ECSTA Platinum LX
I have the Kuhmo Road Venture APT KL51 235/60. I was very happy with them until I realized the fronts are shot after 20K mi. I probably ran them under inflated a bit for too long. And never rotated them =(. The taller than stock size makes zero noticeable difference on the speedo or power on the road. My speedo matches my GPS reading exactly. Clearance is no problem.
I have the KH16, and they have the worst wet weather traction I have ever encountered. I have them on a Pontiac Grand Prix.
