Tires Kumho or Shinko

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 have kumho ecsta ZR "performance all seasons" on my 97 986. I drive the thing pretty hard, not too many curvy roads around here but it handles good. I really don't have any complaints, I daily drive this car and another.

Now I have Kumho Road Venture AT52 275/70/17 E-load. They are aggressive and are heavy but I do not rub on normal highway driving or light off road use. Good tires.

I really like the Kumho Road Venture AT51. It's quiet on the road but still aggressive enough for rough terrain. It's also three peaks winter rated so it is an excellent tire in the snow and ice. Tread life has been good also

Been really happy with the Kumho Ecsta PA51, as they are a bit more frisky than my previous set of tires which were Conti DWS 06+… although I generally find all seasons to be disappointing.

Am montat Kumho si sunt multumit.

The HA32 has pretty OK performance for an all-weather tire, it placed mostly in the middle of the pack in this review. Wet braking performance is a little behind the competition.

Leaving aside whether or not the mechanic should have changed them, the difference in quality and performance between Kumho and Bridgestone is negligible, virtually nil.

Tires (Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum) were installed 6/25/2024 @ 151,xxx miles (with receipts). Manufactured date is May 2023. Currently, car has 165,xxx miles. As you can see, the two front (now rotated to rear) tires are bald! The other two tires have a normal amount of tread remaining however. I was running about 1° of camber front and rear, and explains why the inside is more worn, but doesn't explain the overall accelerated wear that occurred only on the fronts. I also have an alignment report showing only the front left Toe is out of spec (-0.39° measured vs. +/-0.08 spec).

In my opinion, this would fall under the warranty via excessive/premature tire wear, but of course I imagine any shop would fuss about the lack of rotation. To make matters worse, I purchased and installed these tires at Walmart, which I'm now learning isn't an authorized Kumho installer and Kumho's warranty form says they must be installed by an authorized installer. However, Walmart's own listing for the tires says it's covered by a 50k mile tread life warranty (see last photo).

Skoda Octavia Neuwagen wurde mit kumho ausgeliefert. Der reifen ist für mich Lebensgefährlich im Nassen. Absolut 0 traktion nur am rumrutschen.
