The Kumho has a UTQG of 420-AA
The Vredestein are 400-AA.
My guess is the Kumho may wear slightly better. I don't really care for one-directional tires, because it eliminates being able to criss-cross tires when doing tire rotations easily. Otherwise, they look good for the price.
The Vredestein Quatrac 5 is the only 165/65-14 all-weather tire that I am aware of here.
I sort of watch prices of -
Federal - summer tires
Nexen - " "
Vredestein - all-weather tire
Nokian - winter/snow tire
If I venture outside that realm of tires, I would probably go with 175/65-14 Cooper or Falken tires.
I kinda like the round black ones, tho I may be tempted with some white bits as trim just as a treat
I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything
