Which is better for a quiet highway ride?

Both are marketed as quiet touring tires. The Kumho uses a noise-canceling tread, and the Bridgestone claims reduced road noise with a continuous center rib. With 136 ratings behind it, the Kumho has more shopper feedback to back the claim.

The Kumho carries a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty and a 440 UTQG treadwear grade. The Bridgestone lists no mileage warranty but starts with deeper 12/32 in tread. On paper the Kumho is the safer bet for warranty coverage.

Is the Bridgestone worth the extra $56 per tire?

Only if you need its 275/55R20 size or the 111 load index for a heavier vehicle. For a standard crossover on 17- or 18-inch wheels, the Kumho covers the same all-season job for less.

Can I use the Kumho on a heavy SUV or truck?

Check your vehicle's required load index first. The Kumho is rated 104 and the Bridgestone 111, so a heavier truck or tow vehicle may need the Bridgestone's higher capacity.

Do both handle light snow?

Yes, both are all-season tires rated for light snow and wet roads. Neither is a dedicated winter tire, so deep snow and ice still call for a winter set.

How many stores carry each?

As of November 6, 2026, four stores price the Bridgestone new and five price the Kumho new, so both are easy to comparison shop.
