I just bought a set of Kumho Ecsta 4X's, which just came out. They are supposed to be a great all season tire and they were inexpensive to boot. I get them mounted tomorrow, I'll give you some first impressions in a few days.

Nexan N-3000

They are cheap, last forever, hook half *** (I cut 1.50s 7.2-7.3s@95) I could dead hook at bottom of second gear, top of first would start to spin, anything 25 and under was stupid of course), ride was respectable on them, very nice looking tread pattern.

We have several good options. The Kumho's mentioned are a new design. I was very impressed during our testing this summer at the Tire Rack. We have lots of all season options let me know if I can help.

^I bought mine from Tire Rack!

Just put on the Kumho 4X's tonight and went for a drive. First impression is that these feel really nice...much better ride quality than my Kumho Ecstas. I'll have more impressions tomorrow after my daily drive to work.

How often do you drive the car and how are they in the rain?

The Kumho 4X's have been great so far. Good grip, quiet ride. I havent had a chance to drive them in the rain or snow yet, but I'm sure we will get some nasty weather soon enough (not that I want it.) After reading all of the reviews and putting some mileage on my own set, I would say that these are great for the money. I will take a picture of them on the car today and post a pic.

Alright, here are some shots. Pictures really arent that great, but the tread pattern is a pretty good design. Pay no attention to my lug nuts, I have some new chrome ones coming, haha.
