Got some new tires - Kumho All season's

[rondocap]

So when I got my Boxster, it had Continental Sport contact 2 summer tires on it.

Basically, even with around 5/32 of tread left, they were performing rather poorly. Considering it's the winter, they have no place in temperatures below 40 degrees to begin with, but there were other issues.

They were not balanced properly, and I was getting a shimmy and vibration at 65mph, which was rather unnerving.

So recently I put on 4 brand new Kumho Ecsta ASX all season tires on.

I have a BMW with Blizzak snow tires for winter driving, but I do like to take the Boxster out frequently, even in winter, so these tires are perfect for me.

Honestly, I have not really felt any performance detriment compared to a summer tire. They grip very well, even when it is wet out and cold - and they are quiet and comfortable.

They completely changed the feel of the car. Before the car was unstable and vibrating at highway speeds, the new tires plus balance made the car feel like new.

I recommend them - and I paid under $460 for the set, even better!

(For street driving I feel all seasons are good enough - especially for this car. If we are talking about a higher performing sports car, then the need arises for better summer tires for maximum performance)
