I also have Kumho Ecstas on my 17 inch SSR rims, and I hate them. I am
glad they are finally worn down enough for me to get some new ones. The
tires have good traction and hold, but they have extremely poor tread
life. I can't wait to get new tires in spring, as to which ones to get
I'm still shopping around. My all season tires are Bridgestone Potenza
RE-950, I love these tires. Great grip and not noisy, good tread life
also.

the Potenzas are, IMHO, one of the best tires on the road. I have
Sumitomos on my LS and my wife as Potenzas on her ES. Both are
great tires but on a scale of one to ten and ten being the Potenzas,
I'd have to give the Sumitomos an 8.
IMHO, I'm going to go back to the Potenzas after the Sumi's wear out.
