Default looking for good high performance all seasons

I currently on old fuzion zri's (high performance summer). They are quite a few years old (5-6 years) and I need to change them out. I need something that is all season as the car will see all kinds of tempatures year round. The tire rack had 3 tires in my size in that catgory.

1)BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S

2)Kumho Ecsta ASX

3)Kumho Ecsta AST

Im looking for anyone that has run Kumho's and BFGoodrich's in an all season to chime in


thanks

I've had very good luck with Michelin Pilot Sport A/Ss (I ran them for 48,000 miles on my Mazda3), and am reasonably impressed with the Yokohama AVID ENVigors that I now have on the Mazda.

Ecsta ASX. Acceptable in the snow and freezing, and held up during 105° track day on a 3,400 lbs. AWD A4.

I don't see Yokohoma S. drives on there. They're hands down some of the best all seasons i've owned. i'm on my 3rd set... they're supurb in rain, great in snow/ice, don't follow crowns in the road. and they lasted over 30k miles. Great for autox duty too if you aren't a super crazy driver. i love every bit of these tires

look at ordering from discounttire.com and discounttiredirect.com they're a great tire company, and if you have a local shop they have excellent customer service since that's all they deal with.

They did not show those in a 205-50-15 size. Discount didn't have them either.

I believe the S drives are considered to be in the "summer tire" catgory and are horrible in the colder weather. I looked at them as an option before but if I am going to buy a summer tire Id go with the XS, Star spec, or AD08 tire.

Wow, 205/50 R15? Never heard of that size before (I'm new to the Honda world).

I don't know what kind of a budget you're on, but if you can dig up some 16" wheels then there are a few more offerings in the 205/45 R16 size, most notably the Continental ExtremeContact DWS and the General G-MAX AS-03.

Nope, They are going on oem wheels for " winter ". The origional tire is 195-55-15 but the car came with 205-50-15 because I could amagine they were cheaper to replace at the time.

If you go back to 195/55R15, you can get into the newer design Kumho ECSTA 4X. Otherwise I'd recommend the BFG
