Im looking for a good all season tire for my max. Is anyone running Kumho ecta LX Platinum?? I live in Minneapolis so a balanced UHP tire is definitely needed.

 

Dumb question: What is UHP? All season as in driving in the snow too?

 

The LX PLatinum is a Grand Touring All Season, not an UHPAS.

I've no experience with it, but the TR survey doesn't have that good ratings of it:

Here are the current survey results for UHPAS:

The Conti DWS are supposed to be great for the money, and some sizes are on closeout now because apparently they are revising it.

 

+1 on the Continental DWS.

 

I just put Yokohama yk580 on my 2006,,,,,huge improvement over the RSA's

The Conti DWS was also one my contenders.

The Yoko warranty, and reviews pushed me over the edge

 

I've got a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Plus AS's for sale. PM me for details.

Check out their stats on tirerack.com

 

Bought a brand new set of general g-max as-03 in size 255-45-18. they have a great rating on TR and i got them for what i think is a good price in the BX. ive only had them for a few hundred miles but imho they r great tires. i like the tread pattern. if they last at least 2 years with the same grip i would love to get another set. i heard that continental makes general....don't know if thats true but who cares they r great.
