Tires Kumho or DEXTER

I've never had a more tenderfoot set of rubber on any car and was really glad to have worn them out. Replaced with Kumho tires which ride like a noticeable harder compound/tire and have had no punctures since.

Kumho tires are a decent brand.

I would agree with another poster that they are a good mid-tier brand. In that range of tires, you generally pay less and get very good performance.

What I’ve found is the mid tier brands usually give something up to the top tier brands like Michelin. For example, if you get a performance tire, the Kumho might have dry grip that is as good or better than the Michelin, but maybe the tire doesn’t last as long or isn’t quite as good in the rain.

The differences tend to be small, though. And the price premium you pay for top tier brands is usually a larger percentage than the difference in performance.

The best option is the Kumho Ecsta PA31. That's what I run in the cool months.

Owned two sets of kuhmo LX Platinum excellent budget tire very quiet got 45k miles with a few rotations still didn't hit wear bar when changed. I will say not good at all in any sort of snow.

Not low grip but sticky in yet durable and fairly quick is the Kumho Ecsta V730.

Shit for we weather tough, to be fair

We went with Kumho Crugen tires when it was time to replace the stock Yokohama Geolanders. Its probably been 20K miles and they have been great. Quiet and the car handles the same.

The OEM Crugen is a mediocre tire, like most OEM tires, and they’re less than $250 retail.

I only buy continentals. I'd advise you do the same. I've had kumhos before but they were meh.

I also have a bit of personal experience with Kumho - Wintercraft winter rubber. I don't like it honestly...

Kumho tires suck. Mine lasted about 24k miles before I replaced them with Michelins.
