Tires Nexen or Kumho

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

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.

A good option for budget minded summer tires is the Kumho SPT. Long life treadwear rating and decent performance at a great price.

Just put 'em on this weekend. ASA AR2 18x8 wheels from the Tire Rack. Tires are Kumho SPT. They look great in person, especially for the money.

I liked PS2, it was pretty durable as well. Kumho mx was a pretty good deal for 225/40/18. Grip was good for the price, though a little weak on wet surface.

When i bought my GTI 1.8T it came with the Nexen n3000 and personally i liked them the road handling was quite good and they seem to handle well in the wet also. The tread lasted me quite long and id say for about 14000 miles and they still had 6-7/32 tread left when i sold them. Honestly i am thinking of buying them again!

I put on the nexens yesterday and they seem to handle well. There is hardly any road noise on the highway and for the price i can't complain.........

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...
