Tires Kumho or KENDA

Stock Kumho tires on my 2024 model, usually stay on ECO mode but I do use smart mode sometimes. Currently at almost 23k miles the odometer stays at 44mpg average, I calculated based on fills about 43.2 mpg which is pretty close.

Kumho Ecsta 4x II. I had them on my old car and loved the grip. Decent performance all-seasons.

I will add that I saw that Consumer Reports gave a surprisingly good review of the Kenda Vezda Touring 4S.

Dry braking: 4/5

Wet braking: 3/5

Handling: 3/5

Hydroplaning: 3/5

Snow traction: 4/5

Ice braking: 4/5

Ride comfort: 3/5

Noise: 4/5

Rolling resistance: 3/5

Tested tread life (Miles): 50000

Verdict: "Pros: Impressive snow and ice grip as well as dry braking performance. Cons: 50,000 mile projected tread life based on CR's test is so-so. CR's Take: A great choice if winter traction is a priority."

I'm using Kum-hos Solus Majesty Ta91 275s. They're $181 each at Discount Tire and haven't encountered any issues while driving in hard rain on the highway

I put a set of Kumho all weather with three peaks on my wife’s Elantra. Honestly they’re great. Are they as good as dedicated winters? No, obviously not but they’re damn good and capable.

I'm on my second set of Kumho all season, I don't think I'm missing out not spending the extra on Michelins. The Kumho have been awesome in the recent weather bomb.

I got some kumho krugen EVs. they're fine. I don't really feel a difference between these and the pirellis it came with, to be honest.

I cant speak for the K657 specifically, but I ran a Kenda K761 rear on my CM400. I found that the Kenda tire chipped and fragmented really easily but otherwise was just an OK tire.

Yeah kumho ecsta on my car and lasted roughly 15k miles. Won’t be going with them again

Was recommended awhile back and had Kumho Ecsta. Not great. Went back to Michelin tires. Cost more, but a huge difference in noise, comfort and traction when wet.
