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.
I'm also getting new summer rubber, Nitto Neogens in 205/45 R16.
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.
NITTO NEOGEN .I just got a set .They did great in the snow are Z rated and 280 tread rating.
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 had some nt555 on my last car....... great tire....... but horrible wet traction
khumo? forget about em, wet traction is dangerously low. i prefer Bridgestone, the potenza line. RE-01 R for summer compound. 960 as Pole Position for all weather compound. keep in mind that my perspective is from a performance standpoint, i dont give a crap about how many miles i get out of a tire so long as i enjoy it while i have it.
