Tires Kumho or OEM Subaru

Well I have a 24 Limited with the 20s and live 2 miles up a dirt road. The tires are fine to me. I have an outback and tundra with 18s and don't notice much difference.

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.

My Chrysler 300S 5.7 does shockingly well in medium snow. Blizzard conditions are not acceptable for that car, so give me a Subaru Legacy GT Limited Spec B with Blizzaks

I have a 25 yo Subaru Impreza RS that is completely unaffected by snow. That is as long as I put proper snow tires on in the winter, I forgot to switch one winter before a storm and my summer tires were pointless to say the least.

Its the tires folks, not the car. Anyone can do that, if you have reliable tires.

It all depends on tyres you're using. I'm plowing through all that snow on my all season mid tier kumho Solus with no problems in my caddy van

Used Kumho’s brand just fine in the past. But been several years as other tires I’ve looked at had better wet traction / price for my specific tire size so I’ve opted for others more recently.

Not same model # but I just ran Solus on my Elantra, they were OEM from 2023 and got about 50,000 miles on them. Awful in the snow and not great in heavy rain, but if you live in a mild climate and can avoid bad weather as needed they get the job done.

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.

I have not had good experience with this brand. They came on my wife’s car and started hydroplaning terribly after about 8,000 miles.
