Tires NITTO or Kumho

i run about 28-30 psi in my kumho ecsta mx in the same size. any more and they have accelerated wear in the center of the tire.

on my Golf with only Koni Sport adjustable dampers and Kumho XS tires, I regularly set faster autocross times than many of the \"darling\" cars in faster classes in my local autocross events

Try the Kumho ASX. They were quieter than any other tire I've tried. Much more so than the awful Goodyear RS-As.

I ran the Kumho XS (250/50 15 on a 2006 Mazda 2) last summer and found them to be fairly comparable to the superceded Bridgestone RE01R, albeit much cheaper. I did 4-5 autocross sessions on them on top of 'spirited' drives in the local mountains every weekend. My fronts lasted just under 3000 miles to slick and the rears around double that, but I do have a fairly aggressive alignment.

great tires! wonderful in corners, i love them!

If you are talking about the neogens, they stretch amazing. I also have 215/35/19's on an 8.5. I was able to lower more after switching to these.

We have a set of Kuhmo XS's and Koni Yellows on the way - Santa was good to us!

I have had both sets on cars I have owned. the kh16 is more of a highway tire, it grips good in all weather conditions. The LX platinum is good in all conditions accept snow, it gets ok traction because of the softer rubber used. It grips better than any tire I have had for the price of them in dry conditions

205 45 16 has a little stretch on a 8" wheel. 195 has a lot of stretch. tires are kumho ecsta 712's BTW.

a side wall bubble is dangerous.. make sure if you plan on driving on it for a period of time to keep you tire pressure perfect if not a bit lower then the factory suggest.. my wife had a small bubble and over inflated a few 5 PSI and blew it out on the highway 10miles later.. you never know when they are going to blow so try to get a new tire ASAP..
