Tires NITTO or Kumho
Our OEM Kumho Crugens are around 4/32” at 54,000 miles. We have found them to be just fine, quiet and smooth with no punctures or other incidents.
We have a 2023 AWD Pro S with the same tires. We just replaced at 30k. They probably could have gone another 5k or so, but one tire had a slow leak and they wouldn’t even try to repair it due to age of the tire. We got the same tires again at Discount/Americas Tire because they seemed fine
V730, Conti ECF, hankook RS4 is the way to go for endurance 200 and or less $$ per lap
I wish they still made Kumho Ecsta XS. Those were awesome and cheap.
Love my nitro ridge grapplers. Quietest but best looking tire imo.
Kumho is a better performance than the defender but defenders are still great.
Reason I'm asking is I'm running Nitto NeoGens 280tw (205/50/15) on a fairly light, low horsepower car (D15B7 Del Sol). I've had alignments done, check my air pressure every other time I get gas (35psi) and I'm at the wear bars in 12k miles.
I replaced mine after 27k miles and they were DONE, no thread left on any of them. 13k miles later they look very good, but I have also been rotating them (unlike the Kumho ones).
I think it’s gotta be the Kumho all seasons I have on my DD right now, they have absolutely zero grip even on perfectly dry warm roads
Worst tire is NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER. I hate them.
They suck in the rain, they suck in the snow, I don't recommend them.
