Because it snows heavily and frequently in Indiana, I was forced to give up my stock BF Goodrich KDW2's for my current all-season tires, Kumho Ecsta ASX. The change from street to all-season meant a weaker sidewall, so I went with a wider size for more grip to make up it. I went from the stock 205/50/17's and moved up to 215/50/17.
Overall, my current all-season tires were what I was looking for. It has a surprisingly stiff sidewall for an all-season tire, it handles better than my stock street's in the wet, it's capable of matching my old street tire times on the dry and it is a lot less expensive (payed $100ea.) than the other high performance all-season tire competitors. Without the expertise from Jason and his racing team, it would have been really difficult to make the right decision.
Although I successfully overcome the snow problem, my car was still lacking in performance due to the all-seasons. I needed to find some sort of way to get better tires and still have the option to run all-seasons in the winter. So I went to Jason again and talked to him about what I needed to do. He referred me to this website called Edge Racing. They always have great deals on light-weight race wheels/ street tire packages.
