Tires OEM BMW or Kumho

I’ve had 3-4 sets of kumhos on various vehicles & a trailer, great tires great prices

I had good experience with Kumho as affordable tyre option

Regarding the X3M - I have about 9 months and 6k miles or so dailying mine. It is firm but I don't believe it's as punishing as most reviews mention. The thing is a monster man. I don't know why anyone would need anything more in a daily. It handles easily as good as my RS3 did and maybe even less body roll despite being much higher CoG and the RS3 didn't roll much either. It feels direct and definitely feels rear driven.

Good grip in dry & wet, mud + snow rated, quiet, have had them on for the past 3 years. I live in Ontario, these are excellent in the snow.

Buy Kuhmo AT51 road venture. You won't regret it. Even in deep snow.

I live in mountains with lots of snow. No problem whatsoever.

Oh and the tires are very quiet.

Good budget tyre if you have sportier car.

my last set of tires were Kumho AT51s that I bought for the same reason - got them for a little over $500 for four, so I said WTH. They were alright and, for what I paid for them, I think I got my money out of them, but I ended up replacing them about 10-15k miles before their stated life because one of them had a steel belt break and it was making a horrible sound, especially at low speed. They were also kinda loud for just being an A/T

I had them on a car. Rode nice and quiet. Great rain traction. belt did end up breaking in one tire causing a tumor and another was starting to fail after 6 years.

In a year and a half of having these tires I’ve had 3 flats and 1 slow leak on the sidewall of a a tire… needless to say, I’ll never get kumho’s ever again

The Kumho are crap in the rain. I was facing hydroplaning issues within a week of buying the car.

The did do it in a decently controlled way but I have not been impressed with the stock tires at all. Not to mention I have 20k on them and about 10% of tread left.
