Definitely doesn't sound like a Walmart, Goodyear, or Kumho problem. Sounds like you just need to go buy yourself some new rims or a new car. There's No way 2 different sets of tires, from two different manufacturers are leaking the same way. If they're aluminum alloy wheels that have some type of clearcoat, sometimes the clear breaks down where the tire bead seats and can cause very slow leaks, cast aluminum wheels can also just become porous over time. If they're Steel wheels, they could be rusting through. You could also have leaking valve stems/tpms. And then you also have the obvious psi drop when the weather gets colder. My suggestion is to pull off the rim and tire that loses pressure the quickest, fill up your bathtub and submerge the rim and tire under the water to see where the air bubbles are coming from. I can just about guarantee the leaks aren't the tires fault unless you've run over some type of foreign object.

This is around how these tires are always priced. Some may be very slightly below typical but the list prices on the ones showing a 50%+ strikethrough discount are a joke. I've had 215/50R17 in my cart for nearly a month and the price hasn't changed.

That being said, based on my research when looking for a new set of tires for my old beater these seem like a good budget tire, especially if you live somewhere it doesn't snow.

If you buy tires from Walmart they will Mount them for free but they do charge for balancing. If you're a Walmart Plus member, you get extra perks like a road hazard warranty.
Your information is obsolete. its $18 per tire (and free road hazard insurance for W+). If you buy tires elsewhere its $28. It been like that for 2 years or more.

excuse my ignorance but I have a 2012 honda CRV ExL (stock rims/wheel)
the well size is (P225/65R17)

Will this work? seems to be the closest fit.

It's acceptable to deviate the aspect ratio by 5 (65 plus/minus 5). Your odometer and speedometer will be off slightly. Going to 55 aspect ratio will result in a harsher ride, less body movement during cornering, and lower ride height (~0.5"). 55 aspect ratio will not significantly increase rim/suspension damage unless you maintain tire pressure at the maximum cold rating.

Well, for starters Kumho was never involved in a deadly coverup involving RV tires Smilie

Among enthusiasts, at least, I'd put Kumho's reputation above Goodyear across the board, but tires are often a model-by-model thing when comparing.
They did have a massive recall in China in 2011-2012 they tried to weasel around. They used recycled rubber to be eco friendly (cough.. save money) and it did not go well. Sidewalls were weak and blowing out.

can you explain? (not being ajerk I really don't know)

my local tire shop is bout $35 per tire install.
walmart is $18 and comes with lifet time balacing and rotation. seems like a deal.

I recently (first time) swap the tires on my 2004 accord.
- I did waited about 1:45 hours and the place is far from me.
but no complaints.
you can get knowledgeable guy who can also install TPMS sensor and re-learn system or some recent hs grad with paper weight certificate.
I always talk to a guy and ask him about red dot.

bought 4 for my Acura TL 2008 at $82 each- somehow the tire size is hard to find and discount-tires charges way over for any decent tire.

Gonna put them on despite still have 2 tires at pretty good condition.

Also bought 2 for Camry 2011 - $71 each, only $7-8 off but still good price for a new Kumho. Remember paying $100/each at a small local tire shop.

Walmart tires suck. Bought the kumos. They leaked. Then bought Goodyears. They're leaking too. Maybe buy tires install elsewhere?
Someone needs to look at your wheels, your wheel surface is probably bent or damaged, that is common. The average tire installer should be spraying soapy water and verify. They sell a bead sealer product used at installation to make up for imperfections. Or, move to a better neighborhood.

I am wondering too.. these Walmart only models don't get the same reviews like mass market models for one to compare.

2018 Prius Prime with OEM Dunlop Enasave 01 A/S. The OEM eco focused tired are light but seem to be made of paper... with lots of horror story of flats.

Both Kumho and Goodyear are ~3lbs heavier (19lb vs 16) than OEM but these are 91V & 91H vs OEM 89S, UTQG of 500AA & 600AA vs 540AB.
