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.
The top rated tire in this class was a Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season tire.
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
I'm pretty happy with how things came out with the tires. We really haven't had any snow where I live to really try them out, but in the cold weather, even the dry traction is worlds better than the PZeros that came on the care---despite being an inch smaller and a good amount narrower (235 vs 255).
The cheapest tires I trust are Kumho.
The Pirelli PZero Nero M&S is a ULTRA PERFORMANCE tire [one step down from the MAX PERFORMANCE] and is an all-season tire, which is a compromise in handling compared to the Kumho MX's.
I had my Pirelli PZeroNero's for 20k miles. They got extremely noisy for one, and also the steering wheel started to shimmy on the highway over 65mph. I just had Mic Pilot Super Sports installed and the shimmy is still there.
I have the exact same problem with my tires. I also just got my 20,000 mile service done and they rotated the tires. I now have a lot of road noise from the front tires and even more vibration. At low speeds there's a loud hum and at 65 I still have steering wheel vibration. The vibration at 65 has been there since the day I bought it and as far as the noise the dealer told me I have to take it up with Pirelli. I hate these tires and would never recommend them to anyone.
