Well, I got some used Bridestone Potenza RE92's that my son picked up from MNSPORTCOMPACTS. They're round, they're rubber - and they were cheap. We'll see how they work out. I gotta hunch from the tread rating (160) that these probably aren't 80,000 mile tires! :)

I've been really pleased with my Kumho ASXs, they handle quite well and have lasted longer than any other tire I've had on the car so far.

So then, you're saying you got more than 12,000 miles out of these tires!?!? :lol:

I have ASXs not KH16s, I've gotten three seasons out of them so far and two were all year round.
