Tires Nexen or Kumho

2016 mazda 6 touring here..:when i bought the car with 27k miles the dealer put brand new Kuhmo tires on…:i just replaced them at 91k miles with continental extreme contacts. so yes….i would recommend the kuhmo as a good tire. i got 64k miles out of those bastards.

I had *Continental MaxContact 5* 2015 that lasted me 2016-2019. In 2020, I moved over to *Nexen N’fera AU7* (2019) on an extremely good deal. I’ll have you know, i’ve put down 90k highway kilometers on this rubber and it still drives great.

My EV6 Wind has factory issued Kumho tires. Just had my 16k service and the treads are fine. I am hoping to get 40k out of these.

Get whatever is a good deal on Blackcircles or similar for name brand tyres, I like the sort of Avon/Yokohama/Kumho end of the market, find something with good wet grip and noise ratings.

I have Kumho Crugen on my 4runner. But I am very happy with these tires. No road noise at all.

I've found 40 psi to be a good pressure and I've had the Kona nearly 5 years, original Nexens. Sharpens up the handling over the recommended pressure.

Went with the 730s all around this year, much much happier.

I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.

Kumho tires don’t last, the rubber cracks out.

If you are going for less than 40 thickness, dont buy cheap. For example, 235/20/35 nexen is bad, very bad. I had it and went for a check up and found out a bulge growing like a tumor on the inner side of the tire.
