Tires Kumho or DUNLOP
I’ve had good luck with “value” level Kumhos and Generals. Currently I drive a used BMW with over 300hp that came with budget Kumhos. They were brand new so I kept them. When they wore out I replaced them with expensive Continentals. I absolutely noticed the difference in quality
I now run the Dunlop D604, and it’s perfect for me. I run gravel roads and farm trails that are mostly dirt and mud. Granted- they are an all-terrain tire, and will not do as well as the knobbies in deep mud, but they are more than efficient for gravel and hard pack/well traveled dirt roads, even if they’re wet and slick.
The Dunlop's that come with the bike were pretty good but the Pilot Road 6 I've got on them right now are just marvellous on grip and wear. I don't think I'll pick a different tyre from now on.
My personal experience with Kumho is that they make good value for money tires. I'd get them. They score decent in tests and seem to last long wich results in quite low running costs.
They’re pretty good. Not the best but they perform awesome. They’re overpriced but they come with the car so whatever. Anyone that says they suck are full of themselves and probably can’t drive the car to its full extent anyway. I track my cars and have used many a set of tire, these have awesome traction, good in rain and look good.
They're soft tires with a short tread life, but I like them.
I had my WRX for a year and a half, and the entirety of it spent on the stock Dunlop tires.
Above 50°F, go ham. Have fun. They're great.
Below 50°F, don't take high speed corners. If you normally go 40 around a corner, go 35 instead.
That being said, I never lost traction with them, even in 40°F rain. The only time they ever broke loose was when there was snow on the ground, which is expected.
They're good on 40+ weather. And they're loud. Freaking louder than the Blizzaks and those are snow tires with huge knobs. They're stock tires so use em as much as you can then buy better tires.
Yes and they sucked. I was lucky to have a very mild winter but I remember one day when it was probably around 25 with a fresh dusting of snow and they were ice skates.
I was naive and thought I'd be able to get away with the stock Dunlop tires until my breaks locked up on a snowy road approaching a red light at 5mph. Get some all weather tires asap!
