Tire decision

Tire decision

I want to buy a new set before going back to school (200miles away).

I'm stuck between these two tires (getting them in 195/55/15) -

1. Yokohama S.Drive (Ultra High Performance Summer)
2. Kumho Ecsta ASX (Ultra High Performance All-Season) - What I have now.

Just some notes,
- they are the same price at $68 per tire
- no complains with my experience of the kumho ecsta asx's except maybe road noise which i dont think will improve if i go with the yokohama's
- i have winter tires

Input, please!

yokohamas.


because the name doesnt sound sexual

cum-hoe

lol i think its pronounced koom-ho

i know.....

but.....some people cant speak very well

for example people at work used to call it "TEE-yota" not "toy-yota"

Yoko's because they're mad type JDM, Yo!

Kidding aside, I've heard some pretty good reviews of them.

True true.
Has anyone tried grand touring all-seasons?

I recommend Toyo Proxes4 all season. It's a 300AA wear rating while still being a V speed rated tire.

get the s.drives

i believe these yokohama tires have 300wear rating as well but wear rating is different for every brand. my ASX's had 420treadwear rating and its near the wear bar at about 33k-ish. These grand LX platinum grand-touring all-season tires from Kumho that I was looking at had 600treadwear rating.

I just ordered the yokohama's last night...getting em sometime today

I'm going to have to get tires within this month as well. I'm leaning toward the new Falken Ziex ZE-912's. 360AA wear rating and 40,000 mile warranty. Cheap too.

yokohoma > all

Eh...i hear the falken all seasons aren't all that great. maybe the new 912s are better..

im gettin those too, $240 for a set + installation

I'm getting Falken Ziex ZE-912 too. I think it's the best all season tires in that price range. I have the old version 512 and they are great (but REALLY bad in snow).

woo my s.drives are hereee

great decision

i heard it sucks when you turn, lol
but overall its ok
