Tires Falken or Kumho

Falken Tires

On my Stormchasing truck, which ran into rain now and then, we used Falken Rocky Mountain ATS tires, which were the Discounttire exclusive name, now they are sold as the Wildpeak AT. I loved them on washed out ranch roads in Texas and mud/dirt roads in Colorado and when we were bombing down the highway they were pretty quiet, much quieter than the Duratracs I had on my old Liberty.

Pros: pretty quiet, decent
Vehicle: Ford
Mileage: 52000 km

Just finished a canyon run on new Falken RT615K+ Auto-X/ street tires on OEM Austins. Cons are a harsher ride and low life-expectancy that comes with 200TW tires. Pro's are sharpened steering and tread noise that actually is not all that bad. And once they warm up they're absolutely tenacious, with more grip than one will ever need on the street and a progressive break-away at the limit.

Pros: sharpened steering, tenacious grip
Cons: harsher ride, low life

Kumho Tires

Go with the Khumo. They’re a reputable brand. I’ve heard of some people having issues with the warranty. My personal first hand; they were a great performing tire. I rode mine hard though. So they only lasted about a year and half. It was the MT.

Pros: great performing tire
Cons: short lifespan

Kumho Tires

Kumho is a well known brand compared to the rest. I'd do kumho solus before any of them.

Pros: well known brand

Kumho Tires

Since last time you saw it I upgraded the brakes to 312mm rotors with ATE 57 calipers in front and 256mm disk brakes in the rear and replaced the heavy Mercedes replica 18" wheels with BBS RK's in 8J 17 wrapped in sticky kumho KU-36 rubber.

Pros: sticky Kumho rubber
Cons: heavy Mercedes replica
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I actually have the Kuhmos on my 530, and I've been pretty happy with them. Very quiet and seem to grip well. Just my two cents.

Pros: very quiet, good grip
Vehicle: BMW
