Tire Option Posted by Brianatl [Email] (#1832) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Brianatl) on Tue, 28 Mar 2017 04:46:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Have been using Kumho Ecsta ASX and then Ecsta 4X W rated tires on my '02 2.3t with the 17" BBS/Saab wheels for at least a few years now. Only thing I disliked about them was how fast they lost tread - but kept using them given the good mileage warranty and related prorated cost adjustment each time I needed new ones. This time a manager at Discount Tire, who drove a 9-3 for some years, suggested a slightly wider (235 versus 225) tire supposedly made by Toyo for Discount Tire, the Road Hugger GT Ultra which has cost similar to the Kumhos, but even better mileage warranty, 50k. Not much user info out there on them, but my first impression is they look and drive good. Total out the door price for 4 was $232 after Kumho adjustment applied . Hoping to get 30k+ out of them versus 15-20k for the Kumho.
