Other than longer lasting tread, is it anything different than Reliants all season? Assuming both are V rated.
Thicker thread and slightly different thread design. I have 195/60/15V Reliants (currently $47@Wally) on pace to reach +60K miles. Case construction is just as good as Outlast. You may get 20% more life out of Outlast, but if the price difference is more than 10%, then I'd go with Reliant.
The V rated Kumho Ku27 is a better tire, even at 5% price premium. Stronger tire construction and superior dry weather handling. It uses a softer compound that's good for 45-50K miles. The rubber chemistry is also resistant to cracking. This is very important if you don't rack up the miles. I have two Kumho Solus TA11 requiring no additional weight. My static tire balancer is good to 1/8 oz.

I'd be really careful of these. I almost bought these until I researched these on consumer reports.
They said that the tire drastically changed once it had some wear. The stats between the tires for things like stopping distance and such were frightening.
I wouldn't be putting these on my car. I paid more at Sam's club they have right now. Still a decent price. 140 off.
I wrongly assumed that they were just rebranded maxlife. There is much more difference than the price.

Where did you find that? Walmart?
Update: OK I see it. But they don't carry my size.

Does anyone know how long this deal will last? I need new tires soon but not in rush, I'm planning to buy some first and install them at Walmart a few months later.

I have not seen any hard dates yet.
Some thought it was a few days ago but still going on.
MAYBE next week sometime as it ended around Thanksgiving. So I would order as soon as you can. If you buy to install later just keep them out of sunlight and rain and they will be good.

Do you know how the Kumho is on snow and ice?
(I had a set of (different model) Kumho 4-season performance tires and in Summer they were great, but that had resulted in compromises in winter performance.)

If you're talking about the Kumho Ku27 they do awful in snow/ice. They work well dry and decent in rain. But have little snow driving ability and none for ice.
The General RT45 do ok in snow. But if you're doing a lot of snow/ice driving then a snow tire will blow away even the best all-season tire.

Please be careful with the Solus in the rain. That was my first and last Kumho tire. It was the ONLY tire, ever, in my life that hydroplaned so badly that in the midst of faster traffic I drifted 2 full lanes over on the highway with zero control. Had I been in the right lane I wouldn't be here today. Tires had at least half tread left.

Never had problem with them in S Cal. I drive 55 in the rain, and watch for big puddle in front.

I think you buy and schedule it for a later date and you can reschedule it

Reliants are a decent economy tire. Great for those that do not drive much. The Outlast last longer so better for those that drive more.
