Tires Kumho or OEM Volkswagen

Have the stock kumhos from vw which to my knowledge are not the ev specific kumhos that are out now. 17k miles and 0 issues, plenty of tread left. Quiet, ride nice, and do well in rain/deep snow. Definitely recommend them.

It seems the Kumho scores higher in wet conditions, while the dry performance is quite similar to the Toyo.

HS52 is pretty solid, given the recent balance between Kumho and Toyo I would expect it to outperform the Toyo.

I have used Kumho touring tires on two different BMWs and I thought they were great for a mid priced tire.

Have the Kumho Ecsta, standard fitted here in the Netherlands. Have to say they are very silent and durable. Drove approx 37k km with them. Have also Continental Premiumcontact winter/snow tyres. Not bad too.

I literally just got these installed last week and I am really happy with them. Way better grip and quieter than the stock falken tires.

Had Kumhos on my Celica for 4 years and they’ve been pretty decent to be fair, even wear aswell.

I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.

The worst OEM tires I ever had were Kumho's. Shot at 30k and had been rotated.

I tried kumhos on my gti and x3. Not happy with them. After some wear they get really loud and feel un balanced
