Our OEM Kumho Crugens are around 4/32” at 54,000 miles. We have found them to be just fine, quiet and smooth with no punctures or other incidents.
We have a 2023 AWD Pro S with the same tires. We just replaced at 30k. They probably could have gone another 5k or so, but one tire had a slow leak and they wouldn’t even try to repair it due to age of the tire. We got the same tires again at Discount/Americas Tire because they seemed fine
I also have a 2024 Hyundai and it has the same Kumho tires. I have had 2 of the tires patched and a 3rd just went flat yesterday. I went to replace it and was told all 4 are so worn that it is a safety hazard to not replace them. I have only driven the car for 20,000 miles.
V730, Conti ECF, hankook RS4 is the way to go for endurance 200 and or less $$ per lap
I am at 14,000 kms after 7 months I checked the tread and was at 6mm so planning to change by 20,000 miles (32,000 kms). I have already reached out to Kumho Warranty but they don't even want to try to work on something with me. I can't see myself spending $1500 to get a new set after this demonstration
Seeing as I am preparing to have to swap them out at 30,000kms I would say they may be one of the worst tires on the market. I do have them (stock) on my EV9 which I have driven relatively gently. Reached out to their warranty department and they refuse to work with me. I don't really want to spend 1500 on a product that drastically underperforms.
I wish they still made Kumho Ecsta XS. Those were awesome and cheap.
Leaving aside whether or not the mechanic should have changed them, the difference in quality and performance between Kumho and Bridgestone is negligible, virtually nil.
Kumho is a better performance than the defender but defenders are still great.
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.
