Greetings,

I am in the market for a set of tire for my 95 SC400. While searching Tire Rack I saw two tires that are in my budget ($350 - $450 shipped). I would like to get some feed back from members on the Kumho Ecsta ASX and Continental ContiExtreme Contact.
Which do you think is the better tire. I'm looking for a good traction tire in dry, wet, and very light snow conditions. The tire also needs to be quiet.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Have the Contis on my GS400. Decent tire, especially for the money. Very good "bang for the buck". Did well in snow for the first year, but not nearly as well after 10k miles (went to snow tires for the second year). Have about ~35k miles on them and may be able to get another year (Spring thru Fall). Holds the ramps faily well, but not as well as when new. For about the last 8k miles they seem to be getting noisier, but not bad. Basically it's a good tire, well worth the money and when it's time to replace them, they'll still be a contender. But I might spend more to get a long-term quieter tire.
