Tires Kumho or Laufenn

I've never had a more tenderfoot set of rubber on any car and was really glad to have worn them out. Replaced with Kumho tires which ride like a noticeable harder compound/tire and have had no punctures since.

Kumho tires are a decent brand.

I would agree with another poster that they are a good mid-tier brand. In that range of tires, you generally pay less and get very good performance.

What I’ve found is the mid tier brands usually give something up to the top tier brands like Michelin. For example, if you get a performance tire, the Kumho might have dry grip that is as good or better than the Michelin, but maybe the tire doesn’t last as long or isn’t quite as good in the rain.

The differences tend to be small, though. And the price premium you pay for top tier brands is usually a larger percentage than the difference in performance.

I received and installed a set of 4 Laufenn X Fit HP tires for my '18 Odyssey today. On my 38-mile commute back home, tires are smooth, and noise is normal to very low.

The best option is the Kumho Ecsta PA31. That's what I run in the cool months.

Owned two sets of kuhmo LX Platinum excellent budget tire very quiet got 45k miles with a few rotations still didn't hit wear bar when changed. I will say not good at all in any sort of snow.

Not low grip but sticky in yet durable and fairly quick is the Kumho Ecsta V730.

Shit for we weather tough, to be fair

I've been buying Kumho Ecsta PS91, but I'd like to try something different.

I used to run Kumho tires on my 99 SE-L maxima when I was in my early 20's they were decently performing tire. I pretty much only ran their UHP summer tires though. As a brand they've been around for a long long time, they are probably upper mid-range tires depending on the type you have.

The V730s are in the bottom of their class in rain performance in Tire Rack's testing and I tend to agree with their ranking.

I also have a bit of personal experience with Kumho - Wintercraft winter rubber. I don't like it honestly...
