Tires Kumho or LANDSAIL

Spend the extra $ and get the Kuhmos. Kumho Ecsta PA51 is pretty good for a budget UHP tire. It does seem a bit weak on winter traction though….

I’ve been using them for a few years now and we’ve currently got them on a Mazda 6 and a Saab 9-3 and they’re fine. Mine are rated B in the wet and I’ve had zero problems with them.

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.

I’ve been with the Kumho Ecstas and they’ve been a dream. One of the better mid range tires to replace the oem with.

Kuhmo arent bad performance wise i just dont feel like they last as long.

The Kumho are crap in the rain. I was facing hydroplaning issues within a week of buying the car.

The did do it in a decently controlled way but I have not been impressed with the stock tires at all. Not to mention I have 20k on them and about 10% of tread left.

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.
