Got Kumho ECSTA 4X installed on my wagon almost 2 months ago. 235/40/18 95XL. They replaced the good year eagle GT's. About 2k miles on them now, they are quiet and softer riding then the good year, but doesn't grip as well on dry road. (i.e. with the good year, I could not get the front tires to spin from a dead stop even if I floor it, with the kumho, they spin for a fraction of a second before the 4motion kicks in) haven't had rain so don't know how they handle in wet. But they are definitely more comfortable than the good year.
I quite like a 50 series 13" tire on a rabbit personally.
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.
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 had a set of kumho's on my 08 GTI and they were terrible. Very expensive and terrible performance.
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.
