Tires Kumho or TIGAR

I use kumho w my sportage. Theyre quiet and lasts long.

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

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.

Tigar, le am pus pe coaja de seria 3 ce o folosesc iarna, fără probleme

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 wore out a set of Kumho Ecsta 712's on my Miata in about 7.5K miles. Of course I was sliding the rears using the throttle to steer around curves on Highway 9 in California.

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).
