In a tire rack test, the only "all season" tire beating the ECSTA ASX, is the mucho dollar Pirelli Pzero nero.

I have 205 Kumhos on it now but the tread is getting thin
They handel great but they are low profile. Not to say that I will not be getting them in the future but for right now I want something different. |

I've had 'em all and 195/65 is the right tire for the street with stock 5.5" wheels.

I used to have 205/60-15's on my Fuchs, the ride was fine, you'll be happy with that size.
IF you ever decide to drive your car quickly/agressively, you'll be happy that you went down to the 60-series, if you don't decide to go to a 55 or 50 series, that is. IMO It also depends on your car's current suspension set-up to, my 914 is/was quite stiff, and I'm currently on 205/50-15's. hth. |

I may be wrong but I think there is a federal law that makes it illegal to put Korean made tires on a German car. |

Oh-OH! I guess I need to be arrested! I had the "kum-ho" Ecsta ASX on my M3 and liked them. when I was forced to go out in slippery conditions they worked very well. In dry they were no match for the Michlin Pilot sport summer tires i had on for good weather though! |

I have kumho ecstas on my Mercedes but I painted over the name so there would be no trouble with the Connecticut state police or FBI....So far so good |

Those are old Yokohama AVS series tires. I will be getting something new soon. I will either get Yokohama AVS dB S2, or the Kumho ECSTA ASX. Those seem to me to be the best choices in size 195/65/15 |
