Kumho is a little more interested/involved in the best performance. The Ecsta ASX is not the highest performance grade, but it seems to be the best All-Season tire in the 195/55-15 size around that price. There are better performing tires--depending on what tradeoffs you are willing to make--but you would have to bump up to 16" rims and maybe deal with speedometer error. The reader survey also implies it is a quieter tire.
