ive got those same coopers on my geo and they seem to do well. but they are clearly an AT tire.
Recommend a switch to "Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring" tires. I have a 2011 Tiguan SE. Replaced my stock 17-inch Continentals after 7,500 miles because they were too noisy and I had 2 flats within a month. Did considerable research on all-weather tires before I settled on the Cooper CS5 . . a new unique tread design and rubber compounds. There was a 100% improvement in my SUV's handling, as well as a soft, quiet ride. Now have 54k on this SUV, and my W-rated tires remain almost like new.
Kumho Ecsta ASX are good a/s tires for the price.. and they have free shipping now on this tire? My experience with Kumho tires.. they are good tires, but if you drive them hard they do wear quickly.
Depends on where you live, etc. so far the best tire I have had, in terms of cupping, or lack thereof, are the Kumho ECSTA Platinum LX
I just saw a sedan with this package and it looked like quite an upgrade compared to a regular Focus. Playing around with the configurator it doesn't seem like it is available on the hatch for some reason, but it really changed the character of the sedan. The tires are wide and it looks hunkered down with a restrained body kit.
Kumho tires are the highest rated bang for the buck tire on the market. I will never buy another brand of tire.
Kumho is a good brand, but there are many others. Don't skimp on your tires, many non-car people simply buy the cheapest, long-lasting tires they can find and only to discover they sold off their safety in the process.
I bought a set of Kumho Ecsta PA31 HP for my GTI and they are probably the best all around all-season tire I've purchased! Great prices too. They are at about 3000 miles now and they are SO quiet, great in the rain, not bad cornering.
I had 245/40-17's Kumho MX's on my WRX and they were okay, but didn't have the ultimate grip of the Falkens.
I have the KH16, and they have the worst wet weather traction I have ever encountered. I have them on a Pontiac Grand Prix.
