Tires Nexen or Kumho

I used Nexen for my Saga a few years back. Probably the best value for money.

Kumho is top dog in the midrange right now, I’d go for them.

Ciao tutti, riprendo questo mio thread perché dopo un paio di giorni di ricerca avrei adocchiato le Nexen N'Fera SU4 XL che pare abbiano un buon rapporto qualità-prezzo (le ho trovate a 57€ l'uno). Tyre-reviews ha delle ottime recensioni a riguardo.

Got a flat replaced with a neven tire and it barely wore at all after 15000 miles, replaced the other 3 when they wore out with nexen tires and they grip well. No problems at all.

That said, I’ve had a good experience with the discount tire house branded “Rocky Mountain” tires. They’re 3 peak rated M/S tires. And road noise is not bad at all. I don’t even hear it. I have about 15k on them over the last year or so.

Just bought these at America's Tire (same company as Discount Tire) and couldn't be more happy with their service and the tires. Better than the Kumhos and the car doesn't shudder any more when coming to a stop on loose ground. Ours was 30 minutes away and worth it.

I am considering replacing my Kumho Crugen tires KL33 (30k miles) with Falkin wildpeak a/t trail tires on my 2018 Santa Fe AWD. The current tires seem okay but I have never really pushed them.

I am super sensitive to sound so road noise is a priority for me. I also had a ****ty experience with the Goodyear Comfortdrives on my Sienna and think those might have been part of why I hated that thing. They got stupid loud and rough riding with more mileage. Similar experience with the RSAs that came on my TLX. Never buying Goodyear again. I dont know how much heavy lifting the car is doing but the Kuhmo Crugers on my ID4 have been dead quiet after nearly 10K miles. They seem to be wearing OK as well. I have no idea how they will do in snow and I'm pretty sure they suck traction wise. But it might be worth looking into EV tires. Low rolling resistance should equate to low noise, though I can't speak to ride quality. ID4's ride is a little choppy but I do keep pressures up for more efficiency. It smooths out on the highway so it might be a German suspension thing.

This one came with Nexen tires that were brand new when I purchased the truck. To be honest, these were the worst tires I have ever owned. Well, I have had a lot of issues in rain where these totally loose traction in the rain going perfectly straight. Didn't matter how fast I was traveling. The final straw was with my wife in light rain and a slightly wet road, turning onto an onramp at about 30mph and the entire rear end started sliding like we were on ice, without me trying to accelerate yet.

In my opinion Kumho tires are not a good option, they are not cheap and not very good either. Mines started coming apart at 24.000 miles in a brand new Audi Q5.
