Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho

I use kumho w my sportage. Theyre quiet and lasts long.

If you are a Costco member find the tires you want through them and then contact Discount Tire via chat and they will price match the Costco out the door price. I bought a set of Bridgestone tires for my F250 and it saved me a couple of hundred dollars.

4 brand new oem Kumhos for my forte installed where right at $480 out the door.

I got Blizzaks last winter and they’ve been amazing. Last year I drove across MI (5 hours) in a severe snowstorm warning (1ft+ snow) and a snow squall warning. I must have passed close to 100 cars/trucks in ditches. I never felt unsafe traction wise, I was planted. My Dad also had them on his old Charger 392 years ago and we took it ice fishing. Since then i’ve loved Blizzaks.

so far they’re quiet, grippy under wet conditions & slightly better in handling & ride than the Dunlop Grandtrek that came with them. Haven’t driven them in snow yet…

Honestly, for that run rate, any good tire brand works. Bridgestone, MRF, Ceat.

Have had 2 sets of the Bridgestones on my 2019 Rabbit Edition Gti..2nd set was not my choice..but they were free....not 2 bad..kind of noisy 30 K on the first set..OEM

I've had my Alenza A/S ultras for just under 30k miles and they're effectively done. They were great tires but didn't last anywhere close to the 80k miles. I drove in dry, wet, hot and cold conditions, on good roads and bad and had no issues other than wear.

My experience with Kumho was once the top layer of the tire wore off (e.g. after a year), performance of the tire degraded. They must use a cheaper rubber underneath.

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.
