Tyres: Kumho ecsta lx platinum
They're much quieter than the first round of tires I had on the car (Nitto NT421Q), and probably about as good as it gets in snow without going to actual snow tires.
nitto nt05. on my second set. best tire i’ve ever used for sure
Summer Tires I have found that Nitto NT555 G2 tires perform just as good as any of the tires you mentioned at half the cost.
I have 315/35/20 NT05 on the rear of my challenger 392 widebody, and it's been raining a ton in California lately. Surprisingly, they have been totally fine in the rain.
I swapped my OEM tires for summer tires (Kumho Ecsta PS31), they provide much more grip and are a bit quieter though since they aren't LRR (Low Rolling Resistance) I do lose about 10% on range.
Go with the Kumhos from Tire Rack. I had really good experience with them
My Fox had 185/60/14's when I bought it new. I've ran this size for may years mostly in Pirelli and Yokohama's. They seem to be about just right. I did try 195/60/14 but I got a wheel rub in the rear when I hit hard bumps. Now I had some NITTO - NT01 Ultra HP that were 205/55/14. I really like the way these tires looked on the Fox , they are only + 0.07 difference in Side Wall height compared to the 185/60/14. What I liked was the width of the tire is 8.07" wide -vs- 7.28" wide. The only Cons about these tires is that they are very soft. So you are lucky if you get 30,000 miles out of them.
I tried kumhos on my gti and x3. Not happy with them. After some wear they get really loud and feel un balanced
I've had NT05's on my TT and they lasted one season, and I couldn't drive in the rain.
