Tires: Kuhmo Ecsta ASX for '89 535i? Opinions?

[///Sniper535]

I have the factory size on my car. Those tires are ok for being just tires but they squeal like a pig on turns, man i miss my old TRX tires.

I have had Kumho ASX for a couple of months... I think around 3,000 miles. Anyway, this is my first experience with 17 inch wheels and I am not sure if what I am feeling is directly related to the Kumho's or the change to 17 inch.
I feel the tires tracking ruts, tracking oddly during speed changes, and feeling generally lost for direction. On the plus side I noticed these tires are extremely quite, very sticky when dry, adequate in the wet, and look great on the car. (I finally figured out how to get the tire dressing into all the ribs).
At this point of ownership, I would have to say they were a bargain, but I think I would spend the money on Michelin Pilot next time. I've had Pilots, I should have stayed with them.

the alignment may be off a hair or two, it gets more critical with shorter tires, the bitch is finding a place that will do it right, the only setting is tow and it's amazing how many places get it wrong

Works great on my mother's Impreza coupe. I've only been using General UHP 17s and Pirelli snosports.
