Tires Kumho or DEXTER
I had Kumho LE Sports on my 95 M3 and really liked them as a street tire. Quiet, good dry/wet traction, and the price was right. I'd buy them again.
Ecsta LX Platnium...running them on my Golf on 18's, love them! quiet,and handle well
The cheapest tires I trust are Kumho.
The ride is very soft/smooth and quiet. Far superior in handling (obviously) and noise than the factory Michelin's were.
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.
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.
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.
To me 36 psi seems too low. The tires just sit too low. I run 40psi all around on my KUMHO ECSTA 711's.
Anyone running Kumho Ecsta MX (ku15) from Tire Rack? I bought a set (225-45-17) for my Jetta and they are complete junk! They are so loud I sound like a garbage truck driving down the road. Upon stopping, the noise is even more unbearable. These tire corner like s--t!
