My original tires (OEM tires) which come with the car are Yokohama BluEarth XT AE61 in 215/55/18.
Anyway, my car is a Toyota Yaris Cross (DNGA version).
Got a pretty good deal on a set of Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72 in 225/45/18, $400 for a set.
The ride feels much firmer, the Kumho provides superior comfort and everything compared to the AE61 that was equipped with the car, the difference is night and day.
I feel confidence doing a sharp corner, bend at 140km/hr with this set. The braking distance is much shorter than the stock tires in both wet and dry conditions.
I would rate them 9/10, as I haven't tried other premium alternatives such as Primacy 5, Pilot Sport 5, PZ5 or the Asymmetric 6 yet.
