Tires Kumho or FEDERAL

2016 mazda 6 touring here..:when i bought the car with 27k miles the dealer put brand new Kuhmo tires on…:i just replaced them at 91k miles with continental extreme contacts. so yes….i would recommend the kuhmo as a good tire. i got 64k miles out of those bastards.

My EV6 Wind has factory issued Kumho tires. Just had my 16k service and the treads are fine. I am hoping to get 40k out of these.

Get whatever is a good deal on Blackcircles or similar for name brand tyres, I like the sort of Avon/Yokohama/Kumho end of the market, find something with good wet grip and noise ratings.

I have Kumho Crugen on my 4runner. But I am very happy with these tires. No road noise at all.

I run Federal RSRR on the front of my drift car and Id say its TOO much grip in comparison to the rear 'whatever-I-Can-get" used tires.

The Federals have been good for me the last couple of years for a budget tire, but they're really only a budget friendly tire for larger sizes.

Unless these were going to be specific track tires, I would not go with the Federal RS-RR's. I use them as my track tires and they're great for that, but they're a very loud tire. I got a flat on my daily set and waiting on the shipment and to mount and balance so I've been using the Federal's for my day to day driving and after 30mph, it's so loud in my car. Every passenger I've had always ask what the humming sound is and now I just joke it's my exhaust drone

I've had cheap Kumho ECSTA AST's. That you get what you paid for, when money is tight. Their ECSTA Platinum LX was a much better tire, and actually didn't have wear issues which the PQ46 chassis is known for (feathering). Decent grip.

A friend bought them for his E92 M3 and ran one event with them before the shutdown. He said they're not very impressive at all, even his old and cycled RS3s had noticeably more grip available.

Forget the RS-RR's if you don't want your ears ringing for days after even a short road trip. I've been in a '17 mustang (gt) fitted with them; and I've never heard so much road noise on the street.
