Tires Kumho or OEM Toyota

I had a set of Kuhmo ECSTA SPT (I think I have all the letters right lol) on our old Jetta and they are great on wet roads. I'll never buy another set of all seasons

the last tires i had were kumho ecsta asx and they are assymetrical and when i looked at the they were different on the right and left side.

I have the kumho's in 265/60/18 6000k on them now. So far been very happy with them. Cheap tire too!!

I've got a set of kumho ecsta SPT's and they are awesome. No sidewall flex whatsoever, very impressive tire for the money. For a 320 treadwear rating, they do a good job.

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 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

We've just been through the worst winter in many years and our matrix has done very well with the factory tires. If you're not going off road fwd is fine. The deepest unplowed snow I drove through was about 8 inches and I felt like that was pushing it.

Over the last few days have had to panic stop twice, and I have to say that I'm very un-impressed by the dry stopping ability of these tires; I expected much better. Have been seeing a bunch more ABS use since these tires too .. for the money, they're not bad, but my money is going to Dunlop next time around ..

I am running 205-50-15's Kumho and it is horrible!!! Luckily these tires I had laying around and no "real" money was spent on them...
