Kumho ECSTA ASX
 
Got a set of these tires (P195 50 R16) installed and I must say, what an improvement over the stock rubber! Roads were wet from (get ready for this) a light snowfall here in central PA the other day. Yep, that's right. Snow. In October. And this weekend it's supposed to hit 60 degrees?! But, I digress... so far the ASX's are very smooth riding and quiet, and have very good traction, both dry and wet. Haven't had the opportunity to push them, but I will when I drive the twisty back roads and route 322 to Philly this weekend. Believe it or not, I got the best deal on the tires from my dealer, installed with lifetime complementary rotations and road hazard for just over $400. Not too bad. Even WalMart wanted to charge me $500+ for a set of tires installed. I'll update this later after I have a chance to get comfortable with them on a longer trip.

Yeah, I've read good things about the ASX's.
If I was going to stick with all-seasons, I would have given them a try myself.
But PA roads suck, so I'm sticking to swapping out my summer tires for my steelies and snow tires, but hopefully not too damn soon!

I'm in PA, too! What area are you located in? PA roads are terrible, but I've managed to get a good handle of them since I've been driving on them for the last 10 years.

I'm guessing since his location says Pittsburgh, he's somewhere around there.

Yeah, technically Monroeville, @ 15 miles east of Pittsburgh. We're a Turnpike exit!
