Default Interesting. I hated those tires.
I bought three sets; one for the Miata, one for the wife's A6 and one for the bro-in-law's C4 A6 avant. The Miata destroyed the tires in 5k miles; the A6 got 20k out of them, and the avant still runs them at 10k but the outside edges are getting low. In all cases, the outside edges wore out very quickly.

I'm guessing you got such good results by running super high pressure.

Default No season? We've had good luck with Kumho, both MX and ASX.
For Winter we runs snows.

Default Thanks
You are definitely in a much higher state of suspension and wheel tune! I am lock stock Luxobarge mode. I want good handling summer and good winter handling(out here in the "country"). I am almost leaning towards a better winter A/S then summer A/S...as a boat is a boat of course of course. I guess I just want something with a better bite in snowy corners...And probably every new tire anyone has mentioned on here will beat the worn crap on it now!

Default Just bought a set of new 912's, More comfortable, performs the same
as the old 512. The rim protector is gone though

Default I like the Kumho ASX.. But they aren't great in snow, compared to real snow tires...
They are great everywhere else though.

Why would they get rid of the "rim protector"?

Default get good all season's from tire rack, and some snow's from craigslist
I would never suggest that an all season is anything but a sunner, fall and spring tire-
If you have OEM 16" rims it only costs a few hundred bucks for snows with one season on them....
