Im looking for advice on two tires. The Hankook for $79 with a treadwear of 280 vs the Kumho Ecsta ASX for $95 with a treawear rating of 420. Discuss.





Anybody have input?

 

the tread wear is all part of the utqg.. wich is unique tire quality guid i think.... but i consist of ex.
taction AA
temp.A
tread wear.280 or 420

what this means is traction has a couple levels AA being the best of all
temp A being the best of all
tread wear just ad two 00 to the end of what ever number its showing and thats the expected tread life ex. 280= 28,000 mile tire 440=44,000 tire..
it may be more expensive but go with the kuhmo iv had them before and there awsome great snow and rain traction and super summer traction. and they wear awsome

 

^ thanks for all the info. I think I'll be going with the Kumho's

 

You do know you are comparing an All-Season tire and a Performance Summer tire right? I have ASX, works pretty well, but as expected snow performance cannot compare with snow tires.

 

^ I know ones a summer only. There both performance though and I do have dedicated winters. I have decided on going with the ASX.
