Tires Kumho or FEDERAL

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.

I just put on Kumho RoadVenture AT and have had no complaints. CO just got hit with a pretty good snow storm (as least 6 inches) last week and they did great driving in it.

I have the 19” khumo creugan and I had 14k miles when I swapped to winters in November, now I have another 2k on them this spring, and I we am a couple 32nds from the ware bars in the tread. So prabably on track for 20k and they will be gone.

We ran them on our champ car endurance race car. They were ok for what they are. Beware they will get greasy after around 10-15 laps at full pace and grip goes immediately. Caused significant understeer at the limit when this happened.

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.
