i'm planning on throwing my stockies back on early this year... the problem is that the winter Pirelli's are VERY bald. Since i don't go to school upstate anymore there is really no need for winter tires since there really isn't that much snow in LI... i have sum up the 3 tire choices... i enjoyed the Kumho SPT tires on my 18's right now but they are summer tires...

I have shorten the list of tires to the ones below. They all fall into my price range also... I would go with Kumho but i want to try something different, thinking about the General UHP

Sumitomo HTR
Kumho Ecsta ASX
General UHP

Have you guys tried any of the above tires??? Anyone have the UHPs???? I want something that is quiet and comfortable... The reviews are great and the tread looks very aggresive, price is good also.

Thanks in advance!

I just got Falken ZE-912's......and I LOVE them

I was gonna get summer tires for the performance (and cuz it rains like 4 times a yr).....and the guy at the tire place said I should get these.

They're technically "High Performance All Season Tires".....but they were cheaper than Nitto Invio's and have reallllly good grip. And I haven't heard them squeal once (and I like to drive in the canyons). They're pretty quiet on the fwy too

ive had the kumhos u mentioned, escsta asx, rears just changed at 20000 miles, they are rated for like 40,

ofcourse the new rears only got 100 feet on them and then i had my engine seize incident

anyways, they are cheap, seem fine, fronts still have thread on them.

my car is staggered so thats always a pain in ***,

I have the Kumhos on my 2002 coupe - have been very happy with them - got them through tirevan.net, they will come to your house or office to fit them - cheaper than Tirerack too.

Ended up getting Hankook Ventus V4 I believe very quiet compare to Kumhos so far... rides great dk if it's b/c i have them on stockies 17". They are all season hopefully they are good in the snow... and hold up with tread wear.

I did a lot of research before I purchased my Michelins. IMHO the tires you mention, especially the Kuhmo's, are not very good and will not hold up. Spend a few dollars more and buy Michelin's, you'll be happy you did.

i have them too, i remember paying 92$ EA, unbeatable quality/price...
