For anyone who is currently or has recently run Levantos (thought their future in the US seems to be coming under pressure), I thought this could be informative and provide a sanity check to experiences and information.
Based on everything I have read the LeVanto is merely the rebadged ‘option’ LeCont tire. This doesn’t seem to be disputed by anyone that I am aware of.
As such, be aware that even though they kept the name exactly the same (KRT), Levantos from last year are part of the 2024-2026 homologation period and are a different compound than previous Levantos (2023 and earlier), since LeCont switch from SVB as their ‘option’ compound to LOH for 2024. I’ll just say that this info has been very relevant to me recently and leave it at that.
