Ok well heres the scoop, my gf has a 2k3 ford focus zx5 the car needs 205 50 16 tires. I am looking to get a set that is inexpensive all season, we live in PA, and just all around best tire for her car. Thanks for the help !! I am looking at tire rack right now and cheapest are the kumho ecsta ast. not sure how those rate would really appreciate some insite

 

How cold does it get where you are? There is a Kumho lineup breakdown stickied at the top of this forum. If you do need all-seasons, spend the money to get Kumho ASXs if you want only Kumhos. They are much better than ASTs.

 

it will get below freezing here, def does get below zero as well. Crappy roads alot and just deep winter weather.

 

Damn man that's cold. Now I'm sure nsxtasy will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it might be a good idea to get two sets of tires, a straight up snow tire/performance snow tire and maybe an inexpensive all-season or summer tire. I don't think all-seasons are going to work for your weather, too cold for them in the winter for them to work safely enough.

 

nsxtasy He'll chime in soon

 

id love to have two sets of tires but unfortunately i can't do it right now. money is a bit of a problem right now. She has been on all seasons since she bought the car and it has never had a problem. Right now the tires are wearing out really fast like not even 20 k on kuhmo asx and they have been rotated every 5k. The car has never been in an accident or lowered it is all stok. She had the car at discount tire in orlando today and the rear tires were cupping from what the guy said and well i know something is wrong. She has had a moderate vibration in the wheel for about 1k miles. does anyone know of these cars somehow having a problem with this car and tire wear. I mean she had some model pirellis from the factory and they last 22k. POS if u ask me and well this car should be getting a hell of alot more miles on her tires. She does not beat on the car at all and i maintain it so please help!!
