Tires Kumho or Sailun
Sailun is a cheap Chinese brand but it's damn good in the winter. I think the WS1 or WS2 (studless) is what I had on a rwd car and it handled better than some name brands.
4 brand new oem Kumhos for my forte installed where right at $480 out the door.
They are very comfortable and quiet. But sidewalls are soft so this is not a sporty tire. Can't comment on threa dweare and winter performance as i have them for a month.
Replacement rear tyres wearing incredibly well (Kumho) and will likely do another 15,000 miles
Sailun erange ev. A perfect bang for the buck!
I got a set of Kumho EVO tires for my Model Y about 15 months ago, and they turned out to be a pretty substantial upgrade from the Continental ProContacts the car came with.
I’ve used two different Sailun winter tires on two different vehicles (based in the Canadian prairies) and they were decent for a budget tire. Not the same ones as you’ve got posted but they’re much better than an all season.
I would choose the Saliun Ice Blazer - I had them when I was 16 and very reckless and managed to not cause *too much* damage
I have a 24’ n mine came with the same exact tires. A lot of ppl complain about them, including me. For a top trim, it sure is disappointing to have such low quality tires. They do not have good enough traction for the power input these cars have.
I had them on my 2020 GLI and drove the fronts down to about 18K miles. When I got my 2023, I got rid of them immediately. For a car such as this it shouldn't even come on the Kinergy's. For a daily performance car it deserves better rubber and anyone doing even the slightest bit of spirited driving can immediately feel they are not good. Great for daily commuting and around town so I'd assume they will last
