I ran a set of ASX's for about 35k miles, they were a good tire. Stiffer sidewall and better grip than Hankook K106's, but a big difference in price. They also were very predictable in wet weather. Now I'm loving my Vredesteins, amazing tires for the price.

kumhos usually take a good beating and keep on ticking. I run them every so often cause i think they work really well in wet weather (at least the directional ones)

I had them on my other car, and the only complaint I have is they were very noisy. Something about the tread pattern makes a lot of noise when they are rolling. I put Falken Azenis tires on that same car when the Ecsta's wore out, and they are incredibly quiet compared to the Ecsta's.

I'd say they are one of the better UHP A/S tires for the money.
