Tires Kumho or Firestone
I ran Indy500 tires on my GTI and they are very good .
I rode in a car with Indy 500s. For a tire that is a REAL commuter tire, it grips well and I ASSUME it has decent life and handles rain fine.
Have the Indy 500 on wife’s Vett. Great value summer tire. But for not much more you can get continental ECS02, and those are amazing tires.
I second the kumhos v730. For the price they are pretty hard to beat. They don’t heat up as fast as ao52’s but the grip level is similar and they last longer
I have NC Miata and run Kumho V730s as a track and autocross tire. Might be like 0.5 sec off the fastest tire over a 60 sec course and holds up well on track.
I bought Kumho a/s for the first time this summer and I am very happy with them so far.
I have a set of Kumho A/T tires on my beater 4runner and tbh they’re not snow tires and they’ve still been fantastic in the snow. Don’t have the best ride quality, but I’ve thoroughly liked them for the last 35k miles.
Mine is studded Kumho Wintercraft. It's actually quite good in the snow and ice, soft. But if we take the snow and ice out of the picture it's not that great, probably cause of studs.
I have a US spec 2022 Wind AWD with 23,000 miles on these Kumho tires. In my less than 9 months of ownership I've had two tires patched from slow leaks and I just had to have the foam lining removed from a tire since it separated from the inner tire wall and created massive vibrations in the steering wheel.
I would pass. I had these on my Z3. They were great at first, but got stiff really quick.
