Tires Continental or Kumho

Kumho Tires

I had two sets of the Kumho Crugen HT51 SL. I liked both times and they lasted about 40,000 miles each. Seemed low but they're snow rated so I know those don't get as many miles because the rubber is softer. They handled great in snow/sleet/ice and enabled my front wheel drive van to go through lots of winter weather driving.

This last set (third owned) pissed me off though and barely made it 18,000 miles even with proper inflation and alignment.

Pros: handled great in snow
Cons: low mileage, rubber softer
Mileage: 64373 km

The answer is conti premium contact 6, or yoko v105. Both good tyres but allow you to explore the limits without silly speeds and good feedback.

Pros: good feedback
Cons: explore limits

Conti ecs02. Upgraded from Bridgestone re97as a few days ago and haven’t had any wheel spin yet. I haven’t done a pull from a dig yet but leaned into first after about 2k rpm a few times and did rolling pulls and it’s been great. No wheel hop either. They do feel a lot firmer and you notice imperfection in the road a lot more. They also kick up rocks way more than touring all seasons.

Pros: no wheel spin, great pulls
Cons: feel a lot firmer

I’ve had both the ECS02 and PS4S. I think it’s worth the extra cost. I prefer the ECS02. They have a softer side wall, aren’t as loud, and last longer than the PS4S. They provide about same amount of grip in my opinion as well. I care about comfort so the contis were my top choice.

Pros: softer sidewall, last longer
Cons: louder than ECS02

I currently have the Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR tires. They were what CarMax put on when I bought it. I don’t care for the run flat technology as my insurance covers towing as well as I have a plug kit and portable compressor in my car if it’s not bad enough for those to handle it. I was looking at the Kumho LX Platinum KU27 but really don’t know much about the specifics of tires. Looking for advice on my current choice and/or recommendation. Thanks!
