Kumho Tires

Rating 4.0

Got Kumho ECSTA 4X installed on my wagon almost 2 months ago. 235/40/18 95XL. They replaced the good year eagle GT's. About 2k miles on them now, they are quiet and softer riding then the good year, but doesn't grip as well on dry road. (i.e. with the good year, I could not get the front tires to spin from a dead stop even if I floor it, with the kumho, they spin for a fraction of a second before the 4motion kicks in) haven't had rain so don't know how they handle in wet. But they are definitely more comfortable than the good year.

Pros: quiet, softer riding
Cons: doesn't grip as well
Mileage: 2000 km

BRIDGESTONE Tires

My Pirellis got very noisy at 20K and were badly cupped by 30K. I wouldn't recommend replacing them with another set of the same tire. I put Bridgestone RE 970AS Pole Positions on my GTI and have been very happy with them so far. They had the highest ratings on Tire Rack, just edging out the Conti Extreme Contacts.

Pros: very happy
Cons: noisy, badly cupped
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 20000 km
Part number: RE 970AS

NANKANG Tires

Rating 3.5

Have been riding Nankangs for over 100,000 miles now. No real issues, but as mentioned thread life is not the greatest but it's not horrendous either, I probably got like 20-30,000 miles out of a set. I think they are worth the $, as long as you're not looking for super performance out of them.

Pros: worth the money
Cons: tread life not greatest
Mileage: 160934 km
