I've had Kumho ASX for about 6 mos now, switched from the stock GY run-flats. Noticed a HUGE difference in noise reduction and much smoother ride in my vert. Coupled with a partition and the car is about 1/2 as loud from inside the cabin, I can carry a converstion w/ my passenger w/o yelling.

Wal*Mart has the 12V SUV compressor and get the best "T" handle tire plug kit..a pair of pliers to pull the object out, a folding 4 way collapsible lug wrench (Wal*Mart)and a jack. All this will fit in the center storage compartment.

Got em and like em. Nice and quiet. When cold however even with my mostly stock motor I get lots of wheel spin if I hammer it from a rolling start.
