I have a standard half ton 1500 extended cab pickup.
Inquiry about the Kumho tires, sold by Discount tire, Pathfinder HT. Just highway miles . Compare to the Goodyear.
Has anyone have any experience with these tire or would you just buy the Goodyear ones, about $70 difference in cost?
Thanks for any response.

Got 80K miles on Hankook from Discount tire 6 years. DT and Hankook now have the same brand exclusively for Discount. Great highway rubber. Since Discount now has an exclusive on this it cost me $300 less than previous purchase 6 years ago.

Goodyear is at the bottom of my list. I have no opinion on the Pathfinder. Never ran them.
Currently have the factory Goodyear on my truck. Cant wait to get rid of them.

Michelin's for me when its time. 70,000 mi IMO the best highway tire out there. Quiet, great traction and lasts.

I've never ran Kumho.
Before you commit, check the ratings and reviews on Continentals.

The continentals that came on my wife's tahoe aren't my favorite. Only 30k miles on them and we may get another 10k before I think they'll be unsafe. My biggest complaint about them is that there's small cuts in all of the tread. At first i thought it was due to the wife just turning the wheels hard before actually moving, but the rears are doing the same thing. Good street traction, but won't last. Her next set will either be a set of Coopers or Michelins.

FYI the factory tires on most it not all vehicles have less tread depth than the same replacement tire. A few places do sell the factory tire and it’s significantly cheaper than standard tire.

I’m a fan of cooper tires.
But Michelin’s are proven too
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Hard to believe Buzz held on to something long enough to get 70,000 miles on it.

It bugged the hell out of me but we still got 83,000 miles on them only replaced due to age and cracking.

But Michelin’s are proven too For sure. I get 60,000 or so on Coopers. I spend a significant amount of time on rough caliche roads. They are priced right as well.

How much do you drive? Do you commute or travel long distances? I go on the cheap side since I started working from home. I might drive 3000 miles in a year and that's stretching it. You might consider getting a better quality brand otherwise.
