Arrow Continental.Extreme.Contacts / KUMHO Ecsta ASX

I want to learn how the ASXs deal with the following
body roll
snow traction
potholes
wear/traction
___________

Ive had extremecontacts for 4 years on my wrx (i lost my license for 2 years...)

great tire (especially on snow and hydroplaning resistance) but its rather soft and adds to the bodyroll. I have 225s at the moment, Im planning to purchase 215s now which should have more lateral movement.

how are the Kumho ASXs?? they are cheap. specs are almost identical to Xcontacts but half the cost?

Continental.Extreme.Contacts those were what i was going to get... paid for em and everything... then the shop messed everything up. They gave me a little bit better of a tire for what i already paid for the CEC's
