I have ASX's and for the most part they're pretty nice. I like how quiet they are and they have decent grip, only real problem I have with them is the sidewalls like to flex alot if you drive spirited, but if you dont really care about that and just want a good all around tire that does pretty damn well in the rain I would say they're a great choice.
Well, about time I updated this: I went with the Kumho SPT's and have been pleased with them so far. Good traction in the dry, nice and stable in the wet, and they are very quiet compared to the Potenzas I had previously, so that's good. Two things I've noticed with them though: They are not quite as stable on uneven pavement, as they move from side to side a little more than the previous tires. Also, I haven't been able to hit the same kinds of fuel mileage as the old tires.
I plan to buy these tires for sure, they seem to be the top stretch tire along with the 512 Falken.
I am currenlty running 235/40/18 tires on 8.5 wide rims all around. I don't know if it's just me but the car feel a lot smoother now
I had them in 245 40 17 on my GTI. I thought they were great! A little loud, but they are cheap tires so I didnt care. I used them as track tires and they wear like iron, and grip very well once hot.
Also, I'd like to comment favourably for the R888, which I tried on an AMG SLK: awesome grip and great heat resistance!
i use 888's on the track, and couldn't be happier! they are the bomb. on the street, they are pretty damn loud, sounds, and feels like the car is on dyno rollers... you can use them daily, just refrain from pushing too hard in the wet - i have driven many times in the wet, but just took it easy and all was fine. on the track with some heat on them, they are unbelieveable, you just laugh at the grip and control especially if you are running coilovers and bbk.
The Toyo RA-1s were my first set of \"real\" track tires and wow, who knew that there was such a difference between high performance street and competition tires? They are excellent and are on my car 100% of the time since there's not much daily driving duty for my R32 anymore.
I had the Toyo FZR's (I think) on my all-season 1.8T. Not the best by any stretch, but not too shabby in the muck either. Got me through 2 winters and only 1 time was I sweatin' with grip problems.
toyos wear fast.
