Default Trying a new tire: Kumho ASX

I'm cheap or, put another way, I like to maximize value.

That said, after running Sumitomo HTR+, I have now put on some Kumho ASX in 245/45/17.

So far they feel good. They also felt good on the wallet @ $97/per.

W Rated, all season rubber with a 30K tread life warranty, they reviewed nicely at the tire rack against the P-Zero Nero. So I took a chance and put'em on.

Anyway, if your cheap (uhhh, make that value oriented) this tire, so far, seems like a lot of bang for the buck.

Good luck,
Eric

I concur - used to run them on a AWD Talon, no issues...

they aren't the greatest handling tire, but they seem to wear ok, decent life, and pretty quiet...

good wet, decent dry... cheap...

way better than the Sumitomo's...

I currently run the Kumho ASX in 18's and have no complaints at all. They are very quiet and responsive.
