Tires Kumho or Goodyear

Swapped the 21’s and summer tires off my summit reserve for 18” XDs and Kumho Venture with a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Had 10” of snow and didn’t bat an eye in snow mode.

Goodyear f1 eagle asymmetric 6 but slightly wider at 215/45/17. Transformed the car with much sharper turn in and the rear no longer wants to go sideways in the wet when I put the power on. Also much less road noise and seems to ride more smoothly. This is over the stock bridgestone.

I swapped my Goodyears for 50mm gravel king x1+. I love them and they have been really versatile.

Kumho - superior value and great handling.

Kumho ecsta sport S. Huge improvement

The iX does really well in the snow. No skidding at all on the Goodyear All-Seasons. I do feel vibration when going over 50 mph on the highway, and a google search said that it’s because of snow stuck in the wheels. I definitely have snow in there so hopefully it will improve once it melts.

Greedy NASCAR wants a 10 month season, they should ask Goodyear for a deal on snow tires.

I say get Goodyear to take the wet tire and give it deeper softer tread, make it a snow tire.

The Flex ate through tires, though. The OEM Goodyears were garbage, as usual.

Current car has Goodyear, the cheapest model. And terrible in snow and ice.
