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.
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 ended up going onto the Nokian website and searched around for the right snow tires for an EV. They actually have them. They have them up to a 99 load rating which is much better than the 95s I had. Made a huge difference in handling...
I have the KH16, and they have the worst wet weather traction I have ever encountered. I have them on a Pontiac Grand Prix.
