Tires Kumho or Vredestein

Spend the extra $ and get the Kuhmos. Kumho Ecsta PA51 is pretty good for a budget UHP tire. It does seem a bit weak on winter traction though….

I immediately swapped the 20's with the OEM Goodyears for 19's with Vredestein Wintrac Pros.

Quatrac Pros. All weather severe snow and rated tops for wet traction to boot.

I second the kumhos v730. For the price they are pretty hard to beat. They don’t heat up as fast as ao52’s but the grip level is similar and they last longer

I have NC Miata and run Kumho V730s as a track and autocross tire. Might be like 0.5 sec off the fastest tire over a 60 sec course and holds up well on track.

I bought Kumho a/s for the first time this summer and I am very happy with them so far.

I have a set of Kumho A/T tires on my beater 4runner and tbh they’re not snow tires and they’ve still been fantastic in the snow. Don’t have the best ride quality, but I’ve thoroughly liked them for the last 35k miles.

Update two: went up a half frozen covered in snow hill climb and they did great. Model y dual motor has great traction but the tires handled it superbly. I'm very happy so far

I had them on a car. Rode nice and quiet. Great rain traction. belt did end up breaking in one tire causing a tumor and another was starting to fail after 6 years.

I would say you could buy a few thousand large rubber bands and apply them to the wheel to make a better tire than these Kuhmos. Absolutely garbage tire. They transmit way too much vibration from the road to the steering wheel also.
