Tires Kumho or Goodyear

I have had mixed experience with Kumho. Had a set of Ecsta PA51 that were great. No issues and lasted a long time.

I have Kumho Roadventure tires on my Tacoma, I like them.

Wife had a set of Continentals on her GLE 350 and two rears had belt issue so had to replace and the same Conti’s were not available. We went with two Kumho Ecsta and they are solid.

I put a set on my 2006 Ram. LT, and I think the total was about $450. No problems, better ride than what I had.

Underated brand. I just went through my first set of v730s. I'll be buying them again this spring.

Just put 4 Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2’s on our ‘24 and they’re rockstars. Bit of a mileage hit but that also could be because it’s winter and the car is warming up more in the mornings here in New England.

I drove the Vector gen3 for two winters just because they came almost brand new with my car. I am a very calm and mindful driver and my suv is 150hp (awd) and top speed 170 km/h, so the performance never felt lacking , including druring blizzards and on shiny slippery ice. That's with my driving style and without mountains, mostly flat roads. But I feel that if you constantly push them to the limit, you may get mixed results. Especially on compacted snow with frozen tire tracks, it can be quite unsettling experience. I think the excellent awd made it feel sufficient, but I never felt completely stable and completely safe. All-seasons are usually a bearable compromise and aren't excellent at anything. This Goodyear felt rather solid and just the fact I could drive in 40C and highway speeds, and in -15C in snow is very impressive. BUT at only 3 years old they were already dry rotting and all cracked, to the point one started leaking through the sidewall. Tread wear was also very rapid. The Goodyear had so much noise, including some vibrations and even a loud roar at high(er) speed. I honestly thought it might be my rear diff indicating it wants an oil change. I didn't know it was all just from the tires. Now I only hear some slight wind and nothing else. I guess the all-season compound baked during the summer and lost its qualities, just as the winter compound would.

We moved to a new set of Goodyear Comfortdrive's and immediately dropped 0.4mi/kwh efficiency (which has stayed consistent over the 700 miles that we've put on them). That is to say, our 'new normal' is 3.6mi/kwh.

I had Ultragrip Performance G1s on my Kia and they were a pretty bad experience noise-wise, so I'm hesitant to go with Goodyear again.

Every Goodyear tire I have owned was pure shit. A set of Ling Longs would have been better. So premium price, not premium tire?
