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

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 switched my '25 Turbo to the Kumho Crugen HP71's and am very happy with the increased sound insulation and performance. Much better in rain than the Toyos I had (which developed a giant bump on the side wall 3k miles in).

Kumho Solus's. Bought them as an all weather tire for a backup vehicle. Reviews seemed mixed but decent overall and the price is hard to beat. They wore faster than winter tires, and didn't have near the same performance. Even with rotations, the tread was gone within 25000 km.

Installed some AT tires and new wheels. After 1000 miles my efficiency dropped from 2.4 to 2.1 based on my driving habits and daily commute.

My experience with Kumho was once the top layer of the tire wore off (e.g. after a year), performance of the tire degraded. They must use a cheaper rubber underneath.

I also have a 2024 Hyundai and it has the same Kumho tires. I have had 2 of the tires patched and a 3rd just went flat yesterday. I went to replace it and was told all 4 are so worn that it is a safety hazard to not replace them. I have only driven the car for 20,000 miles.
