Tires Kumho or Laufenn

Our OEM Kumho Crugens are around 4/32” at 54,000 miles. We have found them to be just fine, quiet and smooth with no punctures or other incidents.

We have a 2023 AWD Pro S with the same tires. We just replaced at 30k. They probably could have gone another 5k or so, but one tire had a slow leak and they wouldn’t even try to repair it due to age of the tire. We got the same tires again at Discount/Americas Tire because they seemed fine

V730, Conti ECF, hankook RS4 is the way to go for endurance 200 and or less $$ per lap

I wish they still made Kumho Ecsta XS. Those were awesome and cheap.

Kumho is a better performance than the defender but defenders are still great.

Khumo v730 - Not as bad in the wet as you might think. Would still be cautious though. And honestly I see this tire being dailied as situational. it will depend on drive train the area you live. If you live in Louisiana or something and it rains all the time I may not have gone with this tire. If you're in Arizona then I'd say this may be the best tire to daily. My area this is the rainy season so it will only really see rain when it's new. My Last event was everything this tire hates cold and wet. About 42 ambient with a wet track. And yes they felt like power wheels tires at times but I never questioned them they still communicated well. And IMO the way this tire communicates is the highlight of it. It's hard to explain, but it's just so clear in what it's doing. If you sim it's like this tire dialed in my FFB setting. That is the best and only way I can think to describe it. They are a chatty tire in the best way possible. Even just road driving them ugh Im in love with these tires.

First hand experience having had two sets to Laufenn tyres…

They were good for the money and I could not tell much difference between them and the Michelin Pilot Sports I had on there before which were very expensive and didn’t last long.

I have these tires on my 2017 chevy express nice tires for summer but useless when the show falls no traction

Stay away from Kumho tires, I’m just a Dad with a Sienna for the family, but I had a Honda Fit I drove 4 miles to the office for work. Got a pair of Kumho 80k rated, thought would be the last I’d have to buy. Worn out at barely 21k on them, on a Fit that don’t weigh much more than a lawnmower.

No an EV but on an XF Jaguar 2 months and still slippy. Never again am I going to buy Kumho tyres.
