Yeah those OG Kuhmos back in the day…garbage
You should never cheap out on a few things in life such as shoes, toilet paper and tires.
Goodyears were the worst set I ever owned
Sumitomo ZIII or something like that. Lesson learned
I'm on the Kuhmos deal too. Bought these for my wives 04, didn't last for shit.
The Hankooks on my 18 150 are great, 45K and still a lot left.

Kumhos as well.
They looked cool though!

Used to run BFGoodrich KO tires on my trucks. That would be the first thing I would do when getting a different truck. They switched to the KO2, and I ran a set of those but they didn't last as long. I put a set of wheels and tires on my current truck, picked the KO2's and the truck rode like it was on blocks.
I had to file a warranty claim on the tires. They were out of round. All four tires could not be balanced. Michelin owns BFGoodrich now BTW and they tried to tell me that they don't warranty their tires when they're mounted on aftermarket wheels but since they started the process they would go ahead and honor the warranty.
The new set was much better, but one of them still has that same issue, I just rotated my tires and the slight steering wheel wobble went away.

Sumitomo is the worst that I've experienced. My sister had some Nankang tires that came on some used wheels. Those were trash tires from the get-go.
Continental HD3’s that come on F450’s. Might be the worst tire on the planet.
Some are make in Taiwan and others in China. Would you trust your life with cheap rubber? I know I wouldn't.
Amp tires came on my aftermarket rims in a package deal....not safe for the road. One reason I was happy to trade that truck in on the Raptor.
I to played with Kuhmos
Best looing tire, KDWII

The absolute worst has to be a set of Nankangs I had ages ago.
I was young and in a pinch thanks to the Army screwing up my pay.
About 8k miles later the sidewall on one completely failed at 75-80 mph. Luckily I was able to coast to a stop. The tire failed right where the tread blocks start.
That lead me to the second worst, Toyo Proxies 4. They completely numbed the car of any feedback.
From there:
Dunlop
Nitto NT555 (gen 1)
Bridgestones that came on my DD.

Oh yeah. The China bombs that came on my camper.
They just looked dangerous so they got changed out.
The Sumitomos that American Muscle put on the wheel kits back in the day were horrible. They didn't hook very well and once I put the blower on the car would change lanes when I accelerated.
Goodyear Wranglers are a close second. Put them on an SUV and had problems in the rain. Nothing like having the rear end break loose going around an on ramp randomly.
