I have Kumho ASX's on the GTI. Treadlife has been great. I currently have about 43k miles on the set and if the retards aligned my wheels correctly when I had them put on, I would be able to get another 15-20k out of them I'm sure. However, they're starting to develop some pretty bad cupping because of said poor alignment. Not the tire's fault, though. The noise is a little much. I notice it, but it doesn't bother me.

Pros: Treadlife has been great

Cons: noise is a little much

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 68800 km

I have the Kumhos and I don't like them. They are quiet, and seem to last forever, to my chagrin. Personally, I'd rather trade a little tread life for more performance, but they might be what you are looking for. A word of warning, though: they break loose pretty easily when it's wet.

Pros: quiet, seem to last

Cons: break loose easily

Kumhos are working GREAT on my car.... I have ZERO complaints with them; they look great, and they perform fine in both snow and ice. No issues. Plus they were a lot less than Contis. ANd they RIDE a lot better than Bridgestone Potenza, which wore great but are a bit hard.

Pros: look great, perform fine

Cons: wear out faster

I bought these exact tires for my gli. I don't know what the deal is with them, but they flat out SUCK in the snow. The are by far the worst performing all season tire in terms of snow usage that I've ever run.

Cons: SUCK in the snow

I have been using the Kumho Road Venture 235/60 R 16 for 20,000 miles now and they are great. They are not even half worn. They are also quiet and do a pretty good job in the snow.

Pros: great, quiet, good in snow

Mileage: 20000 km

Noise:

The set I have now are the Kumho Ecsta ASX's and have lasted me over years. Could have gone longer but my alignment I think is shot and they are worn funny/cupped and make some road noise. I think I spent something like 90 bux a tire and am very happy with it.

Pros: lasted over years, very happy

Cons: worn funny, make road noise

on my Golf with only Koni Sport adjustable dampers and Kumho XS tires, I regularly set faster autocross times than many of the \"darling\" cars in faster classes in my local autocross events

Pros: faster autocross times
