I had Yokohama YK420's on my Jetta as my last set of tires...they sucked as far as traction goes and they wore really fast (I had the pressure right the whole time)
My new set is Kumho Ecsta ASX and I can't say anything bad about them. They are wearing way better than the yok's and grip 10X's better. I paid $323 for all 4 installed at Discount tire. 195.15.65's
They do however have more road noise than the yok's but it's not that bad, I've noticed it a few times at most and only on certain roads.
George, did you read all the reviews on discounttire.com? read up if you haven't, you'll get tons of personal experiences on any tire you want.
