Tires Kumho or SUMITOMO
I had two sets of the Kumho Crugen HT51 SL. I liked both times and they lasted about 40,000 miles each. Seemed low but they're snow rated so I know those don't get as many miles because the rubber is softer. They handled great in snow/sleet/ice and enabled my front wheel drive van to go through lots of winter weather driving.
This last set (third owned) pissed me off though and barely made it 18,000 miles even with proper inflation and alignment.
I ran sumitomo htr z5 for a few years and liked them a lot (summer/perf). Currently on vredestein quattrac pro which is more of an all season sport touring, and meh, I like them and they're great at what they are but I miss having performance tires in the summer.
I went with Kumho, competitive pricing and I’ve had them on a few years now and 30k miles. Still looking good
got some kumho crugen HT51. similar to a michelin LTX. these are E load rated. i have 6 of them on my 24ft class c. bought these in 2020. we've put on over 30k miles with them. still very good
I bought a car new and it had Kumho tires on it, i’ve had zero issues and they’re still only about halfway through their life according to my last service. So I’ve had a good experience with them.
Kumho sasvim povoljan i pristojan. Vec dva seta potrosio. Michelin isto imao , al pre pre skup a nista bolji od Kumha
I found comparable value with the stock sumitomo tires the came with.
The OEM Crugen is a mediocre tire, like most OEM tires, and they’re less than $250 retail.
I learned this for myself a long time ago when I had decided to go cheap for once and get some Sumitomo. I could feel the car's handling characteristics changed immediately (it felt like the back was "gliding" in the turns leaving the parking lot, which was probably sidewall flex).
Kumho and theyre crap
