Rating 5.0

Best tire in my opinion for daily driving before going to a 200 thread wear tire.

Very good in the rain, noise is as expected but not super loud, and very grippy when they’re hot. They stiffen up in cold weather.

Pros: very good in rain, very grippy
Cons: stiffen up in cold weather

MICHELIN Tires

For conditions like you’ll see in Ohio, I would not run these all year round. I think that’s too risky. If you want a single tire for all weather, get the Michelin Cross Climate 2.

Pros: good for all weather
Cons: risky all year round

MICHELIN Tires

I will cast my vote for the Michelin PS4S. I had a manufacturing defect on a set of Michelin's on my NSX. Upon my return they replaced all 4 tyres as the tread pattern had changed.

Pros: generous comp plan
Cons: manufacturing defect
Vehicle: Acura NSX

Kumho Tires

In that size, and I know because I run the same, is the unsexy (and unbothered by it) Kumho Ecsta V730. Good tire, quick tire, lives well with the heat, takes abuse from camber limited cars, and is the cheapest super 200 out there.

Pros: quick tire, lives well
Cons: unsexy

Kumho Tires

I heard Kumho don't last very long, but are good for the first 10,000 miles and not good at all by 30,000 miles.

Pros: good for first miles
Cons: don't last long
Vehicle: Ford Escape
Mileage: 10000 km

Wasn't my experience at all. About six months ago I replaced the OEM Geolanders on my 2018 Crosstrek with CrossClimate 2 tires. By the time drove 15 minutes home I knew that there I didn't like what I was experiencing with the CrossClimates. They were noisier, jittery, mushy and didn't track like the Geolanders. I wrote it off as being new. They did an alignment and wheel balance during installation. I am not an aggressive driver but the interstate on ramp that I use all the time I could enter at 50mph and stay at 50. I had to brake use the Michelins. Also I lost 3 mpg compared to the Geolanders.

Cons: noisier, jittery, mushy
Vehicle: Subaru
