Kumho SuperMile TX31 EV

Strong spec profile
Estimated from manufacturer specs (UTQG, warranty, speed rating)
Scouter Analysis
The Kumho SuperMile TX31 EV targets drivers who value comfort and longevity in a grand touring all-season tire. Its comfort and noise scores both hit 8, aligning with the category average, making it a reliable option for those seeking a smooth ride. The treadlife score of 8.5 suggests it may last longer than many competitors, though the absence of a mileage warranty means you'll need to rely on tread inspections rather than a guaranteed replacement timeline. In terms of performance, the TX31 EV delivers a wet grip score of 7.5, slightly above the category average, which should reassure drivers in rainy climates. However, its dry grip score of 7.5 falls just short of the average, potentially impacting performance for those who occasionally drive more aggressively. The R speed rating is also lower than some rivals, which might limit its appeal to those seeking higher speed capabilities. Compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45, which offers a treadwear warranty, the Kumho TX31 EV's lack of one could increase the long-term cost of ownership. If you prioritize a warranty-backed tire for high-mileage use, you might consider the BFGoodrich Advantage Control or Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ instead. However, if comfort and a quiet ride are your main concerns, the TX31 EV remains a strong contender.
