KUMHO ECSTA ASX Review

1000 miles and so far so good. Previously I had on Dunlop SP Sport 01 (oem tires). I thought the Kumhos were just as quiet as the Dunlops. As for ride quality, the Kumhos absorbs the little bumps on the road better than the Dunlops. The Kumhos even beat the Dunlops in traction since I have yet to see the 4X4 light come on during hard acceleration and cornering. At first I was doubtful of the Kumhos because of it's price, only $120 a tire. So far the Kumhos are better in every aspect. I have not tried these tires in rain or snow conditions. I will update on that later on the year.

I was considering either that or the Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S tires as replacement for the Pirelli Scorpions I have now. Try it on snow and wet pavement, I want to know how they behave. It's difficult anyway to get the DSC light to flicker on dry pavement since the X3 handles so well. Combined with xDrive, by the time DSC intervenes, the tires are already squealing pretty badly and you're already cornering at an extremely high rate of speed.

I had P-Zero nero's on the e46. They don't like cold weather, ours would shimmy until they warmed up and they will flat spot if you don't drive them almost everyday.
I'm very happy with the Michelins that came on our X3 and would buy Michelins again when the time comes.
