Kumho Ecsta AST or Falken Ziex?

im lookin for some somewhat cheap tires to get me through the coming season... anyways what does everyone think of the falken ziex?.. i can get each tire for $55.. or is there anything else that competes with the falken ziex for all season? oh and after winter is over i want to run the same tires for the summer.. i tried searching but im kind of not gettin teh answer im lookin for... which is around 55$/good wet and dry performance

get the kumho asx...will give you good traction in rain and dry pavement and winter time as well........if you don't need a tire for winter conditions then the kumho spt will do the job....good traction in the rain and dry pavement

The ASX is only a few bucks more than the AST and it's a much better tire in every way.

If you buy Kumhos before the end of the year, don't forget to send for your $40 rebate.

I agree but it sounds like he does need to use the tire for winter too.

Yup.

In contrast, you can read a Tire Rack test of the ASX at http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...id=52.

Keep in mind that the AST was tested against other inexpensive all-season tires, whereas the ASX was tested against other top-of-the-line all-season tires.

<u>Prices for 205/50-15</u> (Tire Rack for Kumho, Vulcan Tire for Falken):
Kumho Ecsta ASX $44 after rebate
Kumho Ecsta AST $37 after rebate
Falken Ziex ZE-512 $47

Get the ASX...

Yes, just print out the rebate coupon and send it in with a copy of your purchase receipt. Make sure you send it within 30 days of your purchase.

 

The Ziex's are terrible. Shouldn't even be on your list.
Good luck with the AST's.

 

shouldnt you worry more about the rating on the tires?? iuno just a tought haha

 

Which rating are you referring to?

 

if you are in or around the los angeles area call this number 626-369-5400 the shop is called zoom auto parts/tires. they hooked it up.

 

Agreed with Nsxtasy and Vtec go with the Kumho Asx
