Example, I switched to Kumoho from GSC's on 93 Trans AM. Yes I gave up traction but I gained smoother ride, better wet road handling, and about 12000 more miles a set. which basically doubled what I was getting out of GSC's. No question a better tire. Kumoho was still not big yet but what they did make was really good.
Upgraded to pilot sport AS at 30k miles because the Kumhos were no longer gripping in the rain (even though there was plenty of tread left).
The Kumho's are a 200tw track focused tire that can be run on the street. The limit of grip exceeds anything the PS4S can do, I'm sure you can push the V730s to the point were you can get he tail to slide but it is going to be at a much higher speed and a harder to control.
Im on some kumhos now. They seem to be wearing really well. Got about 30 on them so far.
Daca e să nu fie ceva all season, pot să garantez pentru KUMHO ECSTA HS52, mai era și ceva variantă "Sport", dar overall am dat 800-850 de lei per 4 bucăți, 195 55 15, un tovarăș a dat vreo 1000-1200 pe ceva model sport pe 17 (cred că 205 40 17?) și chiar se țin bine. Ale lui au și lip pentru protecția jantei și se țin chiar ok. Recomand cu căldură.
Instead of mixing them look into Kumho Wintercraft Plus and get a set of 4. I just bought 215/60/16 at 100€ a tire.
They scored really good (3rd out of 50) on Autobild’s latest test and performed better than some of the big names.
Recomand kumho Solus, sunt cu 17 lei/bucată mai scumpe de 300 dar sunt bune. Fratele meu a avut pe mașina și se comportau bine pe ploaie și pe uscat iar pe zăpadă, decent.
These are EV specific tires and do include foam padding inside. After installation, I noticed an immediate improvement in road noise. What really impressed me was the improvement in road noise during city driving and driving over bumps specifically. The Kumhos were much quieter in both areas. The ride also felt immediately smoother and more refined over the Continentals. While the tires did also reduce road noise in highway driving, the difference was not as stark as the former mentioned scenarios. I think the explanation there is that the tires can only do so much; we all know how poor the pre-highland Model 3s are in terms of sound insulation.
Again as these are EV specific tires, they were created with range in mind. With the Continentals, I averaged 230wh/mi over 40,000 miles. I've since driven 1,500 miles with the Kumho tires, and I am sitting at 218wh/mi. Not a game changer but certainly an improvement nontheless.
Overall I am very pleased with the Kumho tires.
For your size 185/55R16, the best “cheap but not garbage” all-season I’ve found is the Kumho Solus TA31 they’re reliable in winter slush, quiet, and usually one of the lowest prices without feeling unsafe.
On my old Pontiac Grand Am I ran Kumho All weathers and if their speed rating worked on my new 300 I'd run them on it too. Great tires with great grip unless you hit a wet iced spot but nearly all tires fail on that.
