[s-cars] Tire choices for S-car

[Rit Bellis]

I'm running kumho as tires too.  Very good for the proce, and last
significantly longer than kuhmo's stickier (but way more fun) high speed
summer profiles

We have Kumho All Seasons on the S6 avant- I think they are AST but can't be
certain without checking them.  They've worked well for what we intended
them for- car is wife's daily driver and has stock suspension.  We
previously had the Sumi HTR-Z's and the dry grip and sidewall stability of
the Kumhos didn't seem to be a step backwards.  Reasonable snow traction in
the few times we've taken the S to the mountains- our A4 is the dedicated
ski car and it gets full snows in the winter.  They are at about 20K miles
now and look to have maybe 5-10K to go.
