Tires Toyo or Kumho

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

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!!

Toyo Proxes 4 (note: not the FZ4). Had them on my Integra GSR and would be my 1st choice when it comes time to replace the tires on my JSW.

Used to run 195/40/17 Toyo's on my mk2.

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.

Sorry if my comments offended you. With the Toyo T1-S, I've run 195/55R14's on both a Miata and a Rabbit GTI. I've used 3 different wheel sizes with those tires (and I've had two sets over the years). On 5.5" wheels (stock Miata wheels), they are a little too vague on turn in for my taste. But they have gobs of grip once you get it turned in. On 6" wheels, they are a bit sharper, and the grip is about the same as on the 5.5" wheels. On 7" wheels, they get even sharper, but seem a little harsh, and they have noticeably less grip for cornering and for braking. And when they get to the limit on that wheel, they tend to let go a little abruptly. I've also seen some lap time test results for other sizes of the T1-S (Speed Touring and GT cars ran those tires a few years ago), and it was pretty consistent. At the widest end of the recommended wheel widths, they were already losing a significant amount of grip and were very unforgiving. They seemed to perform best toward the middle of the specified range of rim widths.

no way man i had the khumo 712 xtas and they SUCKED!! they didnt get traction at all, they just wheel hopped everytime off the rip. then i get new wheels and tires, with Nitto's on them... and i havent had any wheel hop. they get great traction, instead of hop i now get the little squall.. but the car is moving not sittin still beatin the crap out of my car.
