Tires OEM Audi or Kumho

225/40/19 snows are what i run on the stock wheel, the Kumho Wintercraft WP72 is a killer tire for the money ($173 on simple tire)

Kuhmo Ecsta PS91 245/40/R18

Tyres: Kumho ecsta lx platinum

I swapped my OEM tires for summer tires (Kumho Ecsta PS31), they provide much more grip and are a bit quieter though since they aren't LRR (Low Rolling Resistance) I do lose about 10% on range.

Go with the Kumhos from Tire Rack. I had really good experience with them

I've used Sumitomo and Kumhos performance summer tires with success - although the Kumho PA31's I put on the Fit have worn super fast and are now quite loud.

Wrapped in Kumho Ecsta V720 tires, have less than 5000 miles on them

I have the LX Platinums on my GLI. After 20,000+miles, they show little wear. Handling is definitely noticeably worse than the original summer tires, but not awful. Winter traction was surprisingly good.

Got the tire just after thanksgiving has less that 1500 miles. Hit nothing blew out on a highway going 70.

I had a set of kumho's on my 08 GTI and they were terrible. Very expensive and terrible performance.
