Tire Experience

Does anyone have any experience with the following tires:

Kumho AST
Kumho ASX
or
Hankook Ventus HRII H405

225.40.18

Positive or negative opinions? If you had to choose, which one would you select?

I've done the searches and have read countless threads concerning them - just wanted some updated opinions.

Would someone who has these tires mounted mind posting some pics?

Thx,
B

The tire load on those Potenza's are only 88Y. I was under the impression that 91 or better was the acceptable load for our cars (99, that is). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

from what I have read the Yokohoma Avid V4S tires are a great tire for our car - check them out at Tirerack.com...that is what I plan on getting in the near future. 93 or 94V rating, depending on the size you get
