What is a decent all season? I don't have much to spend on tires... anything good around a hundred bucks a pop?
I like my Kumho ASX's.

How long have you had those ASX's?

The price looks right, but I've never had a Kumho tire.

I've had them since the day after Thanksgiving. I'm running P215/55R16 (one step up from stock), and they ride really nice on the broken concrete that is I-80 between Davis and Fairfield. They work great in the wet, as I was doing 80+ in the rain on my drive up I-5 coming home from SoCal. Can't really comment on the handling, as ripping through clover-leaf on ramps is what prematurely killed my last set of tires.

I bought Toyo Proxe 4's from them around turkey day. Easy to deal with and timely delivery. Got a smokin deal too.

So far I really like my tires as well. I'd recommend them.

I'd also recommend going 225.

Yeah, I'm not looking for superior street handling. I'm really just looking at a tire that is going to wear well and be able to handle wet/snow conditions.

I haven't had mine in the snow yet, but if you wanna know more about what people think of them, you can look at the reviews at the Tire Rack.

so far I've had the toyo in snow, ice, rain and quick handling. I was surprised by it's poor weather handling. it's good. dry...so so...no where near the re070 I had but that is to be expected.

For longest wear the ASX is killer and it does handle most conditions well. My buddy has had them for a long time now and loves them. cheap too.

Yeah, I don't really trust Tire Rack reviewers to be honest. Most of them complain and don't back it up with a solid reason.

I'd rather get feedback from guys like y'all that have seen the tire on Subs.
