Tires Kumho or SUMITOMO

Kumho Tires

I've had the previous Kumho Ecsta Sport on a different car for budgetary reasons. They were great for a few months, but I felt like they lost a ton of grip after 10k miles or so. Longevity was my only complaint, but it was for my daily so even without a ton of grip, I'd consider them a good buy for value.

Pros: good buy for value
Cons: lost grip after 10k
Mileage: 16093 km

I have the same year and trim and tires. Just went in today for the 30K check (30,500 miles), and I have 5/32 on the front, 2/32 on the back. I am planning on changing all four now, just debating which tires to get. I'll probably get the Kumho Crugen's again, as they seemed really quiet.

Pros: seemed really quiet
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 30500 km

Kumho Tires

After blowing out a tire on a particularly nasty pothole I replaced my stockers with a set of Kumho Ecsta PA51 XLs. These are a nice, reasonably priced set of ultra-high performance all seasons that I'd been running on my MR2 Turbo and been very happy with.

Pros: nice, reasonably priced

Mine are 7 years old and the best tires shop in my town said that I still have 10-12k miles left on them. I decided to replace with the exact same ones though, since my car sits in FL sun whole days. They are excellent.

Pros: excellent tires

For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.

Pros: adequate grip, long life
Cons: quite loud
Vehicle: Honda

I find Kumhos Start going really hard as soon as the first few mm come off. Great for longevity but not great for ride and grip after first year.

Pros: great for longevity
Cons: not great ride and grip
