Tires Kumho or WEST LAKE

We had Kumhos on the first ID4 for 2-3000 miles and they seemed perfectly fine to me.

Have the stock kumhos from vw which to my knowledge are not the ev specific kumhos that are out now. 17k miles and 0 issues, plenty of tread left. Quiet, ride nice, and do well in rain/deep snow. Definitely recommend them.

It seems the Kumho scores higher in wet conditions, while the dry performance is quite similar to the Toyo.

HS52 is pretty solid, given the recent balance between Kumho and Toyo I would expect it to outperform the Toyo.

I have used Kumho touring tires on two different BMWs and I thought they were great for a mid priced tire.

Have the Kumho Ecsta, standard fitted here in the Netherlands. Have to say they are very silent and durable. Drove approx 37k km with them. Have also Continental Premiumcontact winter/snow tyres. Not bad too.

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.

I've got Westlake on my escape and mustang, they seem fine to me.

Ah, west lakes, balance like shit like Rovelos. They’re a low cost low tier tire that dealers install to keep costs cheap overall.

Tell you what I wouldn't recommend: Kumho Solus, thanks to which my car now tends to pull itself in different directions on freeways with the cut-in rain channels.
