Tires Kumho or DUNLOP
I have a 25 ev9 land on kumho's. Im at 31,000km and my tires still have lots of tread. I also have a very heavy foot
Kumho are excellent for the price, I have them on my SUV for winter.
Kumho Ecsta PA51. Have them on my MR2 and my Jetta. Very happy with them.
Ich fahre seit Ewigkeiten Dunlop Wintersport. Egal auf welchem Auto und in welcher Dimension, ich habe damit nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Egal ob in Mitteldeutschland, in den Alpen oder bei einem meiner vielen Ausflüge nach Skandinavien und entsprechend richtigen Winter. Zudem hatten wir auch über Jahre Dunlop als Standardreifen auf unseren Testfahrzeugen, entsprechend viele Kilometer habe ich mit diesen schon unter sehr winterlichen Bedingungen zurückgelegt.
Kumho Ecsta line is nice. I currently have the all season version but once I wear through those I’ll probably get the summer tire version on my enkei wheels for having fun and put some good winter tires on my daisy wheels. But look them up see for yourself, the summer tire I think is the PS31 it looks aggressive and is pretty sporty
I ran V730s for the entire year last year on an STU M340i xDrive. It's a heavy car that can really put heat into the kumhos and the awd helped with v730's abysmal traction. It is as fast as the big 2 in the tight corners however judging by my GPS and accelerometer data.
I do rate and recommend the TA51a, which carries a composite score of 62 in their "All Season Tires" testing category, just beating out the Falken Aklimate. The RT45, came in two spots above, at a score of 63 and again with their recommendation.
I am at 14,000 kms after 7 months I checked the tread and was at 6mm so planning to change by 20,000 miles (32,000 kms). I have already reached out to Kumho Warranty but they don't even want to try to work on something with me. I can't see myself spending $1500 to get a new set after this demonstration
Seeing as I am preparing to have to swap them out at 30,000kms I would say they may be one of the worst tires on the market. I do have them (stock) on my EV9 which I have driven relatively gently. Reached out to their warranty department and they refuse to work with me. I don't really want to spend 1500 on a product that drastically underperforms.
In my opinion Kumho tires are not a good option, they are not cheap and not very good either. Mines started coming apart at 24.000 miles in a brand new Audi Q5.
