    Hey all! It's been forever, but hope all is well. I'm in need of some of your expertise!

    So the 09 justa has surpassed 36k miles already and my summer OEM tires are getting thin as are my "winter"/all season Kumho Ecsta ASX's. I need to bite the bullet SOON and pick up a new set, but my questions are:

    -Are Kumho's still the best for the $ and well liked?

    -What size should I look for? My last set of kumho's are not oem size, but are 195/60 r15.

    I liked my kumhos, but just wanted some opinions.

    Oh, and with our first little one on the way come february, I need this to be as in-expensive as possible... I'm sure you understand.:D

    I don't think they make a 15" runflat tire. I'd stick with the Kumhos, Robb.

    I don't think he needs runflats. He has a r56 cooper so he should have a spare.
