Tires OEM Chevrolet or Kumho
Instead of mixing them look into Kumho Wintercraft Plus and get a set of 4. I just bought 215/60/16 at 100€ a tire.
They scored really good (3rd out of 50) on Autobild’s latest test and performed better than some of the big names.
Recomand kumho Solus, sunt cu 17 lei/bucată mai scumpe de 300 dar sunt bune. Fratele meu a avut pe mașina și se comportau bine pe ploaie și pe uscat iar pe zăpadă, decent.
These are EV specific tires and do include foam padding inside. After installation, I noticed an immediate improvement in road noise. What really impressed me was the improvement in road noise during city driving and driving over bumps specifically. The Kumhos were much quieter in both areas. The ride also felt immediately smoother and more refined over the Continentals. While the tires did also reduce road noise in highway driving, the difference was not as stark as the former mentioned scenarios. I think the explanation there is that the tires can only do so much; we all know how poor the pre-highland Model 3s are in terms of sound insulation.
Again as these are EV specific tires, they were created with range in mind. With the Continentals, I averaged 230wh/mi over 40,000 miles. I've since driven 1,500 miles with the Kumho tires, and I am sitting at 218wh/mi. Not a game changer but certainly an improvement nontheless.
Overall I am very pleased with the Kumho tires.
For your size 185/55R16, the best “cheap but not garbage” all-season I’ve found is the Kumho Solus TA31 they’re reliable in winter slush, quiet, and usually one of the lowest prices without feeling unsafe.
On my old Pontiac Grand Am I ran Kumho All weathers and if their speed rating worked on my new 300 I'd run them on it too. Great tires with great grip unless you hit a wet iced spot but nearly all tires fail on that.
Incredibly lucky. Send those to Kumho, they would happily use these photos.
This is neat, but ultimately, its kind of a functional sculpture. Like all of the ultra-hyper cars, it's so high strung that it needs a team to just pull out of the garage without causing an accident, and the manufactures full and constant support is needed to keep it running. It has fully custom tires that are only single source, and they're only going to build a handful of them so they can say its production.
Am acum Kumho Solus HA32+, puse vara asta. Sunt decente pentru anvelope medii.
The OEM tires are junk. I had the kumho 7's, replaced them by 25k and they weren't great even when new.
I wore out a set of Kumho Ecsta 712's on my Miata in about 7.5K miles. Of course I was sliding the rears using the throttle to steer around curves on Highway 9 in California.
