Default Kumho Ecsta AST KU25 a good budget tire.

Replacing my tires on my 02 TA. Christmas coming around the corner. So I don't have big bucks to replace them. These at tirerack are roughly $393 shipped for a set of 4 with $50 prepaid visa card. Can't hardly beat that. They look decent too. Decent daily driver tire?

They are good safe tires but don't expect tons of grip or handling.

I have these tires on my 00 Monte Carlo as summer tires and I have to say that I would never buy them again. It really kind of put a bad taste in my mouth when I asked for a tire that gripped and handled decently from a local tire store and these are what I got.

Save your money and get something nicer is what I would recommend you do.

I love my Hankook Evo V12 Ventus' and they are pretty cheap as well.

Consider the Continental Extreme Contact DWS from Tirerack, not much more coin for a better A/S tire and will work much better in light snow if that is a factor. Or these from another sponsor: http://www.treaddepot.com/tire/90000003493.html which have great reviews.
