The XS' are the low-buck option for their class. That being said, their overall grip isn't bad and they're a predictable, progressive tire. They don't have the maximum grip or wet capabilities that other tires in the class such as the Yokohama AD08's, Potenza RE-11's, or Dunlop Z1 Star Specs have. They're an acceptable budget tire for track/auto-x. I prefer the AD08's but if you go with XS' you won't be disappointed.
Idk what you're smoking but the ASX is an all-season. It's not even close to the XS. My GF runs the ASX's on her Focus. They're OK for what they are but trust me, they're nowhere near what the Ecsta XS is.

PLEASE don't spout false information, especially on a subject as crucial as tires. Have you ever driven on a set of Azenis? Have you ever driven them on a track? Have you ever driven on track? The Azenis 615's are some of the most inconsistent and unpredictable tires on the market. Sure, their maximum grip is decent and they're cheap, but you can only run them hard for a few laps until they overheat and grease up. The S.Drives are not really track tires, they're UHP's.
I sometimes track on UHP's because 1). I'm currently using my street car and it's cheaper 2). It's fun to pwn people running Extreme performance tires with UHP's on an Integra
The S.Drives are a great DD/street tire and will hold their own at the track against many tires that are "better" than them - but they're still not an EP class tire. Surprisingly, the Fuzion ZRi's are very nice too - check out the Tire Rack test. The only way S.Drives will wear out exceedingly fast is if you're a good enough driver to consistently and comfortably drive them to/past their limits on the touge every weekend.
But if the OP is asking about the Kumho XS I doubt he's concerned about DD.
