Tires Kumho or RIKEN

Kumho v730 are pretty affordable in super class. But endurance 200 will save $$.

Falken Azenis RT660 or Kumho Ecsta V730. RT660 might be a smidgen faster, but the V730 is more durable and will last for more runs.

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.

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.

I have the 19” khumo creugan and I had 14k miles when I swapped to winters in November, now I have another 2k on them this spring, and I we am a couple 32nds from the ware bars in the tread. So prabably on track for 20k and they will be gone.

Nothing wrong with the Kumho tires but those are Z rated and ultra high performance tires. They won’t last long and will ride like an ox cart. But they will grip very well.

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...
