Tires Kumho or Cooper

In that size, and I know because I run the same, is the unsexy (and unbothered by it) Kumho Ecsta V730. Good tire, quick tire, lives well with the heat, takes abuse from camber limited cars, and is the cheapest super 200 out there.

The summer tire finally wore out and I’m running the Coopers till they are done. They’ve been a good tire for the price.

I change from then OEM hankook ventus2 to high performance all season Kumho Ecsta PA51 and I love the,. They handle almost as good as the OEM summer performance tires but are much safer in winter, even though Texas winters aren’t terribly cold it does snow here and does drop,below freezing. It’s simply unsafe to drive summer tires below freezing. The kumhos handle very welll to and they are not expensive. And highly recommend.

Replaced my oem kumhos at 35k. Replaced them with Phantom CSports. ($850 for the set). No complaints and the range doesn't looked to be effected by more than a few miles.

I just replaced the tires on my 21 Outback with Cooper ProControl. Same tire size as you. I have young kids as well and do family duty for vacations school etc.

So far so good. I previously had the stock Yokohamas and they weren’t very good. Barely got 50k out of them.

Have about 1000 miles on the Cooper Endeavors 18" rims on my Accord Coupe. Really like the diminished road noise, consistent road feel in wet and dry conditions only issue is that they are mushy when coming out of a pothole tend to slide a little.

I've never ran a car tire but I have had several sets of cooper cobras on a squarebody I rebuilt and my favorite I've ever ran was there STT mud tire. I could get around 55-60k miles out of those and they were aggressive with very little road noise for a mud tread. Unfortunately they quit making that style.

I’m in eastern Canada, and I’ve had those Motomasters tires that are designed by Cooper. They are pretty good when new. Not as good as Nokians in deep snow, but pretty decent. They wear out quickly however, and the performance degrades significantly as they wear out. They lasted about 25,000km and I could not even get the car moving on a slightly inclined icy driveway.

I would pass. I had these on my Z3. They were great at first, but got stiff really quick.

I have had Kuhmo Solus all weathers and they were very loud. I know that’s a different model that you posted but I went with Yokohama Avid GT for a similar price and they’re great and quieter
