The le3 are the only oem style tire id ever recommend. I’ve never seen a manufacturing issue, they last forever and are quite quiet for what they are.
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.
I did a bunch of research and went with bridgestone blizzaks. They make my winter drives way more enjoyable. I can't believe I'd gone without them for so long. Plow up hills/etc that I would never think about attempting in previous years.
Blizzak DM V2 are the only ones I have experience with, but they are miles better than ATs on my 4Runner (and I have the Nokians).
I have 10 ply Blizzaks in Maine and they’re awesome. Wildpeaks for summer. If I don’t swap soon enough and I’m driving the Wildpeaks in snow, it’s very uncomfortable!
'23 Venture+ - just crossed 36,000 miles on the odometer. Not a single software or mechanical related issue with the vehicle. Only done routine maintenance, tire rotations every 7500 miles (still on original OEM Alenza's) two cabin filters and a complementary brake fluid replacement service.
The HA32 has pretty OK performance for an all-weather tire, it placed mostly in the middle of the pack in this review. Wet braking performance is a little behind the competition.
Bridgestone tires are usually a good balance of performance and cost.
But you will almost certainly trade off some road noise and comfort.
We put a set of these on our 05 XC70 last year. 11K miles later they are down to 4/32 - 5/32. The tread wear is indeed terrible on these.
my Turazas SUCK i got 18k (over almost 3 years) on 80k Turanzas!!!
