Tires Kumho or SUMITOMO
4 brand new oem Kumhos for my forte installed where right at $480 out the door.
I got around well with Summos in the winter on my Mazda 2
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
I have Sumitomo Encounter ATs that I like pretty well. On road manners are great and no complaints off-road. They don't look as "cool" as some of the other ATs but they work just as well.
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.
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.
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
