Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho

Very quiet, aggressive look, excellent traction.

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.

Got my current tires from Walmart (Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus) and had my local shop install them, I’m more than likely gonna go to Discount Tire for my soon to be needed next set.

Can you afford Bridgestone Blizzaks? If so, get those. They are the best winter tires money can buy unless you literally live on a frozen lake. I had a set of ws80s for 4 or 5 years. I a aolutely loved them, and just put on a new set of ws90s, last year, and they're even better.

Incredibly lucky. Send those to Kumho, they would happily use these photos.

I change to bridgestone's mazda tyre first time.

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.

the kumho tires ours came with from the factory lasted to around 50-55,000 miles. I’m disappointed I was stupid enough to not rotate them, and paid the price because oddly, front tires were perfect. Both rear tires are absolutely blasted after around 45,000 miles give or take. Severe cupping to the point I swear both tires had bad belts.

I have a 2024 nissan pathfinder platinum. Has Bridgestone ALENZA. Dog shit tires. The car has 28k miles. Rotated the tires every oil change about 4-5k miles. And there toast.
