18" TSW or ASA?
Hey ppl i have been wanting to get the 19" TSW Bremma's for a while cause of their styling and the rear lip on the wheel i liked that alot. but i recently decided to go 18" because of ride quality. Now im not sure to get either the ASA's or the TSW's. I heard they are practically the same but does the TSW have the lip?

I am running ASA ST4s on my W210 I would give 9/10 for the 2 years of ownership. Quality is very close to OEM. The only thing that bothers me is the scratches on the chrome lip. I guess that's a normal wear and tear. Even though I run staggered, the rear lip size is same as the front unlike TSW Bremma. AFAIK, if you check tire rack, ASA ST4 no longer available for our car. Sport Edition took over.

I also owned a set of TSW Catalunya 18''. It has a thicker lip in the rear and I would say both of the brands are about the same in terms of quality...

I used to run Pzero M+S even for summer set because Pzero summer cost much more. Ride is kind of soft and rims can get curb easily (no rim protector)
Now I use Potenza RE750. IMO, it's the best bang for the buck tire. AA for traction and A for temperature. A very nice rim protector. Grippy in both dry and rain. No hydroplane yet. Pzero is so so even in dry pavement: ESP always kicks in.
