Tires Pirelli or Kumho

In that size, and I know because I run the same, is the unsexy (and unbothered by it) Kumho Ecsta V730. Good tire, quick tire, lives well with the heat, takes abuse from camber limited cars, and is the cheapest super 200 out there.

went with Pirelli Centauro and couldn't be happier. Great grip and nice and quiet.

Last week I replaced the ecopia OEM on my 2021 cx9 CE to pirelli scorpions at $258 per tire. The Pirelli’s are great so far. I’m also getting better FE. Almost 1.5mpg more than what I got on ecopias

I change from then OEM hankook ventus2 to high performance all season Kumho Ecsta PA51 and I love the,. They handle almost as good as the OEM summer performance tires but are much safer in winter, even though Texas winters aren’t terribly cold it does snow here and does drop,below freezing. It’s simply unsafe to drive summer tires below freezing. The kumhos handle very welll to and they are not expensive. And highly recommend.

Replaced my oem kumhos at 35k. Replaced them with Phantom CSports. ($850 for the set). No complaints and the range doesn't looked to be effected by more than a few miles.

I bought Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3’s, squared up at 235/55R/19. They are rated for 60,000 miles, are noticeably quieter than the original Allenzas and ride better too.

Also, after 4,000 miles I have seen no reduction in range/efficiency.

Same - may 2022 and 30k. Just got the pirellis recommended from Tirerack and it’s a night and day difference!!

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

The only general consensus is that Pirelli is the worst tire you could buy. I have had the worst experience with pirellis that came on a car I bought.

Perillis are JUNK! Have had them on several cars; and refuse to put them on my Range Rover.
