Tires Kumho or OEM Subaru

OEM Subaru Tires

Over the last 2200 miles (3540km) since I put my snows on, I've averaged 26.4mpg, or 8.9l/100km. At least half of those miles are in decent storms. I don't know how people get such horrible mileage in these cars- mine gets better than any previous Subaru I've owned, while going a hell of a lot faster.

Pros: better than previous Subaru
Cons: horrible mileage for others
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 3540 km

Kumho Tires

Swapped the 21’s and summer tires off my summit reserve for 18” XDs and Kumho Venture with a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Had 10” of snow and didn’t bat an eye in snow mode.

Pros: didn’t bat an eye

On my last car Michelin Pilot Sport 4S lasted ~20k but that's kind of expected due to how soft they are. On my current I have Kumho Ecsta Sport and they have lasted about the same but instead of wear being the issue they're cracking/tearing.

Cons: cracking/tearing
Mileage: 20000 km

Cons: not the best

OEM Subaru Tires

The fucking console rattles like a mother fucker. The stock tires are pieces of shit. The clutch pedal will make noise when it is cold because they used shitty spot welds on the pedal assembly. The ac compressor will probably fail within 50k miles.

Cons: console rattles, stock tires shit
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 80467 km

Kumho Tires

Boils my piss when I see people walking into tyre shops and just asking for the cheapest they have. It vaporises my shit when it's clearly a family car with child seats in the back. Why would you cheap out on keeping your kids safe?

Pros: keeping your kids safe
Cons: budgets can be tight
