Tires Hankook or Kumho

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.

I’m at 220k. About 150k were all pilot sports. The ion evos made an immediate impact in sound and efficiency. These are what I will be going forward with on my vehicles from now on.

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

Just got the Hankook iON ht installed on my Rivian, as of today, there are five different options for the 21-in Wheels: Michelin Defender LTX M/S2, Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Elect, Bridgestone Alenza Prestige, Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 G018 (all terrain), Hankook iON HT The Yokohama are the only all-terrain option the rest are all season. I personally went with Hankook because of the deal I got and the 80,000 mi warranty.

My Hankook only lasted 15,000km. Noise was a bit high compared to my DWS06+, but they had really good grip.

Am acum Kumho Solus HA32+, puse vara asta. Sunt decente pentru anvelope medii.

I wore out a set of Kumho Ecsta 712's on my Miata in about 7.5K miles. Of course I was sliding the rears using the throttle to steer around curves on Highway 9 in California.

Tires (Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum) were installed 6/25/2024 @ 151,xxx miles (with receipts). Manufactured date is May 2023. Currently, car has 165,xxx miles. As you can see, the two front (now rotated to rear) tires are bald! The other two tires have a normal amount of tread remaining however. I was running about 1° of camber front and rear, and explains why the inside is more worn, but doesn't explain the overall accelerated wear that occurred only on the fronts. I also have an alignment report showing only the front left Toe is out of spec (-0.39° measured vs. +/-0.08 spec).

In my opinion, this would fall under the warranty via excessive/premature tire wear, but of course I imagine any shop would fuss about the lack of rotation. To make matters worse, I purchased and installed these tires at Walmart, which I'm now learning isn't an authorized Kumho installer and Kumho's warranty form says they must be installed by an authorized installer. However, Walmart's own listing for the tires says it's covered by a 50k mile tread life warranty (see last photo).
