I got new Kumho Ecsta PA31 in 195-50-15:
I bought a set of Kuhmo all-seasons for my Jetta. Was extremely pleased with them after not liking the Continentals they replaced (two punctures and two sidewall dimples; one was replaced by Continental).
I have the Kuhmo Solus TA71 on my 2011 Elantra, and so far they seem to be outstanding tires. They're extremely quiet, and have good traction in dry/wet weather. I've yet to experience that hydroplaning or slippage feeling in the rain. These tires also help out handling and steering. On-center feel is much better now.
I've bought 4 sets of Kumho tires over the last 8 years, Ecsta SPT, XS twice, and most recently v720. I don't have any complaints. All worked well for street, autox, and track use.
I just had Kumho PS91s mounted. Did a little spirited driving today. They feel good.
I ran them on my 850 volvo for a while. Seemed to wear well and I had no issues.
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.
The N3000 is ok. Had them on my A4 Avant when I bought it. Dry grip is pretty good, and they do ok in the wet, too. Definitely lacking in grip compared to something like PS2s but not bad. Sidewall is moderately soft and they wear quicker than expected.
I had Nexen N3000's on the S2000 when I purchased it. While I know they aren't N5000's, they seemed to have an odd reputation on message boards. The 3000's were deemed fairly acceptable for the first half of their tread life, but then horrid at the second half. They went from having a bit of grip to driving on frozen hockey pucks. Mine were already fairly worn on the S2000, and they were SCARY. They were promptly replaced with appropriate rubber for the car.
horrible tire. the road noise was embarrassing on this tire. i had them on my mkv rabbit when coming to a stop it sounded like my bearings were shot.
