Tread wear rating on the 615's is 200 I believe, which is on the low end, but thats the nature of that tire and compound soft and sticky (relatively) for cutting up the corners, grip, grip, grip.

In comparison the Kumho ASX's have a tread wear rating of 420 and are a decent all season tire.
Although I have no experience with them in the snow they work well wet or dry. As you probably know there are a ton of sites that offer information and comparisons like 1010.

Course ya'll could just run down ta fleetfarm and get yerself some dem roadrunners.... :lol:

Kuhmo Ecsta SPT in a 215/45/17 is my ultimate decision. They saddle up this Saturday. Let me know what you guys think - found a real good deal on them though. Cheers.

$350 for a set + mounting. Didn't seem like too bad of a deal. People seem pretty satisfied with them as a budget performance tire that will hold up pretty well in the rain too. And they're a 215 instead of a 205 ... I'll take it.
