Tires Kumho or Goodyear
Great tire...Performs awesome in wet and dry conditions:
the last tires i had were kumho ecsta asx and they are assymetrical and when i looked at the they were different on the right and left side.
I have the kumho's in 265/60/18 6000k on them now. So far been very happy with them. Cheap tire too!!
I really liked my Goodyear F1 All Seasons when I was living in Mass. They are an excellent combo for all weather conditions and performance.
The Kumho and the Conti were nearly identical when I had a chance to drive on them. but the Goodyears were a little quieter and should also be a little more durable.
I've got a set of kumho ecsta SPT's and they are awesome. No sidewall flex whatsoever, very impressive tire for the money. For a 320 treadwear rating, they do a good job.
I have ASX's and for the most part they're pretty nice. I like how quiet they are and they have decent grip, only real problem I have with them is the sidewalls like to flex alot if you drive spirited, but if you dont really care about that and just want a good all around tire that does pretty damn well in the rain I would say they're a great choice.
Well, about time I updated this: I went with the Kumho SPT's and have been pleased with them so far. Good traction in the dry, nice and stable in the wet, and they are very quiet compared to the Potenzas I had previously, so that's good. Two things I've noticed with them though: They are not quite as stable on uneven pavement, as they move from side to side a little more than the previous tires. Also, I haven't been able to hit the same kinds of fuel mileage as the old tires.
To me 36 psi seems too low. The tires just sit too low. I run 40psi all around on my KUMHO ECSTA 711's.
buy anything but those tires when they wear out, they suck!
