Looking for some advice on car tyres for a family SUV - I need four of them! :-(
Currently the following are similar priced:
Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 001 or Kumho Tyres CRUGEN HP71
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Personal opinion, which one sticks better to the road? Not the place to skjmp on adhesiveness, even at the expense of more regular replacement. Bridgestone are what I feel would be top tier tyres. Kumho I have a perception thaty're not super cheapies but unless its their top line, not as good as Bridgestone would be? Happy to be proven wrong though Have you found like for like testing of these two specific models performance, as brands probably have a wide range of price points and performances.
Thanks.
Was looking at the Kumho. Currently have the Ecopia and will stick with them.
Didn’t relieve how bad the Kumho’s performed according to the test.
In the test, the winner- Continental PremiumContact 6 is substantially cheaper than the Ecopia’s. In my tyre size it’s opposite.
Try Costco….good deaL
Don't forget , it's membership based !
Still worth.
What size do you need? what type of driving do you do? Eg highway? Snow?
I was personally disappointed with the amount of KMs I got out of my Bridgestone Dueler Sports. I just put a set of Falken Ziex CT60 on which have an 80,000km warranty. So far I love them.
I also considered Pirelli Scorpion All Season but couldn't find the stock. Yokohama Geolander A/T have great reviews for the Subaru Outback tackling more mud and snow.
Good luck!
Sell the SUV, they are dangerous
If you drove it, it would be dangerous
If I looked at it, it would be dangerous
Thank you again for your inciteful feedback.
Tyroola !
For the same price Bridgestone all day every day.
However it's very odd that the Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 001 and the Kumho CRUGEN HP71 are the same price even with Bridgestone's Buy3, get 1 free deal.
The Ecopia's are generally much more expensive than the CRUGENs.
At the same price, Ecopia's for sure.
I have Ecopia's at the moment, but looking to switching 2 tyres to CRUGENs due to the price. I don't need 4, so that rules out the Buy3, get 1 free deal.
Ecopia's in my tyre size are $300. CRUGENs are $184.
