Tires Kumho or Vredestein

I got kumho ecsta on my wrx right now.

Yeah my MX5 had Kumo when I got it, and it loved to throw the rear and squeal a bit. Put RE003’s on it when I got a bit of money, holy shit. Suddenly grip monster

So, back to Kumho I went for my 2017 Passat. This time, I really looked at customer feedback and choose the highest rated ones, the Kumho Majesty 9 Solus line. All season radial. So many people who had Audi, BMW, and Lexus swore by them. Got 'em on with a front end alignment of course. OMG! This is the quietest this car has ever driven. It glides along the road. We can whisper in the car and hear each other.

I really like my kumho AT's ????????‍♂️

Actually just got those tires put on barely 2 weeks ago, took advantage of the rebate and good price on tire rack. I wasnt familiar either with the brand but after doing some research they are very well known and liked in Europe, they are made in Holland. I didnt want to buy new wheels til next summer so ended up getting the stock tire size 235 35 by 19 on the stock wheel. i cant speak on how they perform in the snow quite yet but so far so good, they give you a 10-15% stiffer ride specially in race mode compared to my stock goodyear summer tire but i was expecting that. so far so good! Specially for the price im a fan.

I went from the OEM 245/40R19 on my '19 non-R SEL-P to 245/45R18 for winter.

Kumho makes solid tires. I had a set of the PA31 and they did well.

I have used Kumho tires for many years now. Quiet and smooth. Never had a problem.

I've had cheap Kumho ECSTA AST's. That you get what you paid for, when money is tight. Their ECSTA Platinum LX was a much better tire, and actually didn't have wear issues which the PQ46 chassis is known for (feathering). Decent grip.

Kumho Solus - noisy at napakatigas to the point na matagtag ang ride kahit bawas na ng tire pressure. Bumukol yun isang gulong ko kahit hindi naman ako nalubak ng malalim. Not recommended in my opinion.
