Rating 4.5

These are EV specific tires and do include foam padding inside. After installation, I noticed an immediate improvement in road noise. What really impressed me was the improvement in road noise during city driving and driving over bumps specifically. The Kumhos were much quieter in both areas. The ride also felt immediately smoother and more refined over the Continentals. While the tires did also reduce road noise in highway driving, the difference was not as stark as the former mentioned scenarios. I think the explanation there is that the tires can only do so much; we all know how poor the pre-highland Model 3s are in terms of sound insulation.

Again as these are EV specific tires, they were created with range in mind. With the Continentals, I averaged 230wh/mi over 40,000 miles. I've since driven 1,500 miles with the Kumho tires, and I am sitting at 218wh/mi. Not a game changer but certainly an improvement nontheless.

Overall I am very pleased with the Kumho tires.

Pros: immediate road noise improvement, smoother ride, improved range
Cons: highway noise reduction less stark
Mileage: 2414 km

Kumho Tires

For your size 185/55R16, the best “cheap but not garbage” all-season I’ve found is the Kumho Solus TA31 they’re reliable in winter slush, quiet, and usually one of the lowest prices without feeling unsafe.

Pros: reliable in winter slush, quiet
Cons: cheap but not garbage

Kumho Tires

On my old Pontiac Grand Am I ran Kumho All weathers and if their speed rating worked on my new 300 I'd run them on it too. Great tires with great grip unless you hit a wet iced spot but nearly all tires fail on that.

Pros: great tires, great grip
Cons: fail on wet ice

Nexen Tires

For example I swear by, for the time being until they screw something up somehow, the nexen winguard winspike sport. It is an amazing tire for its price point and can be driven in all seasons as well as snow.

Pros: amazing tire for price, all seasons
Cons: potential to screw up

Mid tiers. Pas tout a fait au niveau des meilleurs, mais pas mauvais non plus. Pas pour moi, je suis trop exigent, mais si tu veux pas mettre plus, c'est pas honteux.

Pros: pas mauvais
Cons: pas au niveau des meilleurs

Kumho Tires

I have a 24’ n mine came with the same exact tires. A lot of ppl complain about them, including me. For a top trim, it sure is disappointing to have such low quality tires. They do not have good enough traction for the power input these cars have.

Cons: low quality, poor traction
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I had them on my 2020 GLI and drove the fronts down to about 18K miles. When I got my 2023, I got rid of them immediately. For a car such as this it shouldn't even come on the Kinergy's. For a daily performance car it deserves better rubber and anyone doing even the slightest bit of spirited driving can immediately feel they are not good. Great for daily commuting and around town so I'd assume they will last

Pros: good for commuting, long lasting
Cons: poor for spirited driving, low quality
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 18000 km
