Tires Hankook or Kumho
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.
So far I love the kumhos, and only paid a bit over $100 per tire.
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.
I have Hankook Winter I*Pikes in 225/60R16 XL (102 load rating, I think) on my 2003EV. They have worked well for me.
i run about 28-30 psi in my kumho ecsta mx in the same size. any more and they have accelerated wear in the center of the tire.
I have 245/45 18 Hankook Ventus S1 rated XL 100V. no problems Tire Rack.
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
Try the Kumho ASX. They were quieter than any other tire I've tried. Much more so than the awful Goodyear RS-As.
205 45 16 has a little stretch on a 8" wheel. 195 has a lot of stretch. tires are kumho ecsta 712's BTW.
i bought 2 new tires Kumho KH16 on tirerack.com... i drove the car few miles and i noticed that the car was pulling slightly to the left in city ...i drove on the highway ..same thing the car was pulling left ...if i let the steering wheel straight, the car was changing of lane.... yesterday i switched my 2 front tires side to side ...and now THE CAR IS PULLING RIGHT !!!!
