Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho

I like the Kumho Crugens that came on my ‘23 as OEM. AT 14k miles the seem to be holding up well, though the rears are showing slightly more wear than the fronts.

Just get Blizzaks, by far the best bang for your buck winter tire, they will need to be swapped for your regular tires every year, but they are awesome in anything this state will throw at you. I have used them for years through several iterations on multiple vehicles.

I've run everything from the cheapest of cheap to high-end and can tell you there is a difference in performance. I drive a lot, so i now by all weather tires (Bridgestone currently) that are 4 season (incl snow rated).

I have Kumho winters and have zero complaints about them.

Take a look at the kumho ecsta pa51. I got a set this summer and am happy with them. Plus they were very affordable.

2020 Elantra SEL with the Kumho TA31s I currently have 64,700 miles on the stock tires… So far they’re good tires I think.

I got a great deal on Bridgestone Weatherpeak at Costco. I felt very confident driving them in torrential rains last week.

Are Bridgestone - POTENZA RE980AS+ any good?

Can’t comment on the Hankook’s but the Bridgestone Ecopias that came with my CRV (2019 EX AWD) are also terrible.

My BridgestonePotenza S001 has 12k miles with 6/32 of tread depth. Likely, they grip marginally better than new but I don't have high expectations from this tire anymore. Nevertheless, I did expect a transformation from wider summer tire, coming from horrendous BridgestoneECOPIA EP422 PLUS .
