Tires Pirelli or Kumho

My original Pirelli's were loud after 10K miles. I couldn't wait to get rid of them. The Yoko's are very quiet with exceptional handling characteristics.

For the tires I have both Kuhmo Exsta XS and Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1. The Kuhmos offer amazing grip in the dry, a bit more than the Dunlop I would say. Highly recommended for autocross.

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 love my PZero Nero M&Ss. They're VERY confident in the wet.

Including like new Pirelli P Zero Rosso 275/40ZR19, these puppies were $1380 delivered. The rims are flawless and I can recoup some money by selling the "B" centers. Tonight they are go on the car.

To me 36 psi seems too low. The tires just sit too low. I run 40psi all around on my KUMHO ECSTA 711's.

I agree with the above poster; the Pirellis were less then impressive. Im at the end of the life of my 2nd set and have gotten 36K out of the 1st and 31K out of the second. They have cupped horribly, and consequently they are noisy as hell.

khumo? forget about em, wet traction is dangerously low. i prefer Bridgestone, the potenza line. RE-01 R for summer compound. 960 as Pole Position for all weather compound. keep in mind that my perspective is from a performance standpoint, i dont give a crap about how many miles i get out of a tire so long as i enjoy it while i have it.
