Tires Kumho or OEM Toyota

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.

Kumho - superior value and great handling.

Fwd with snow tires in the winter isnt a bad option. You can't win every battle but itl do for 99% if the driving. I live in northern WI and we drive all over the place with Prius' and snow tires no problem.

Kumho ecsta sport S. Huge improvement

I got 275 and use to have pirellis now I got kumhos they don’t spin as much as the pirellis from a straight dig I use to fish tail hard when my foot was deep in the pedal I recommend kumhos and falkens they straight

Try kumho tires korean brand and decent quality for its price, for my sedan its about 2.8k per tire

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.

I recently went from FWD Toyota with good tires too AWD Subaru with good tires and there is no comparison. With my FWD in the snow I would regularly lose traction in corners at very low speed, sub 5 mph going around city streets. I could not start driving on a hill if there was snow or ice.

Yes the size choice is criminal and the OEM trailer tires even worse. Come on Toyota.

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?
