[Hans Gerd]

Hi @all,

searching for a good all-season tire for my MG ZS Hybrid+ Luxury. The Kumho ia what my dealer came up with. what would be better alternatives¿ The test of the KUMHO by german ADAC is not that good ...

KUMHO 215/50 ZR18 92W TL
Solus 4S HA32 M+S 3PMSF
Reifenlabel: B/B/B|72
Z-Nummer: Z00519140

Hi IAM a bit puzzled why you need all season tyres do you have extreme winters does the temperature drop below 7 Celsius for many months, do you drive many miles in the winter snow frost , if you don't I wouldn't waste your money that's my opinion. Me personally have never changed my summer tyres for winter tyres in all the years of driving even though temperatures can drop to minus 12 etc . Because the extreme weather doesn't last long enough to justify paying more for tyres I don't need ? Just my opinion though.

Whilst not on a MG, but I did use Conti allseason 2 Contacts for 2 years on a KIA EV6, and despite a heavy EV, they performed really well, with relatively little wear on roughly 30k kms. Only downside was they were a bit noisier than good summer tires on the Autobahn above 130km/h, probably less of an issue in the ZS given it's generally a bit noisy at higher speeds. Snow in Austrian hills winters was handled more than adequately.

Otherwise form experience of colleagues I would also Recommend the Goodyears and the Michelin Crossclimate, with other brands performing rather mediocre; I believe Allseason tires still have a rather big spread between good rubber (almost as good as a Winter tire or summer tire in their respective season) to rather poor perfomers (probably feelin like summe rtires in winter and winter tires in summer)

Snow in Austrian hills winters was handled more than adequately, and economy was same as with comparable EV6s on summe tires.
