These aren't RWL tires but when I had to replace two tires on my '16 Versa I put two Kumho Solus TA11's on it and have since bought two more for when the other two need replacing in a few thousand miles. Thus far the two that I put on are wearing great and you can look at my fuel log to see they definitely didn't hurt my fuel mileage. They've been on the Versa for a little over 13K miles and I've never felt them slip or lose traction on wet roads. If I recall correctly the TA11's have a treadwear rating of 700, traction A, and temperature B. The Versa wears 185/65-15, they can be bought on eBay for between $61-62 each. When I bought the Versa it only had 10K miles but, had been rebuilt from a previous accident. Two tires were mates and the other two were two different tread designs and one of them was in poor condition. I'm guessing maybe some of the tires were damaged in the accident or the independent dealer switched out two good tires for two not so good. I just put two of the Kumho's on the '02 Escort about 2K miles ago and they seem to be doing great too. Until I bought these I hadn't ran Kumho tires in probably 20 years. I used to run them on an '88 Escort that I used as a daily driver and they always lasted approximately as long as the mileage warranty stated. At the time I was buying a 13" 60K mile version and as I remember was getting a full set for under $150. including mounting and balancing.
