I actually run the kumho ecsta pa31! So far I love everything about them, they have tons of grip and really low road noise if that's something you're concerned about.
I did 15k mi on a rear Dunlop RoadSmart II and 25k on the front.
My rear tire lasts 12000 miles or 20000 kilometers easily, the front probably more.
Update: Got the tires installed today. I noticed a major drop in road noise. I was using 9yr old Kumhos, that sat in the garage most of their life. Other than that, no noticeable difference going from 225/40 to 225/45.
225/40/19 snows are what i run on the stock wheel, the Kumho Wintercraft WP72 is a killer tire for the money ($173 on simple tire)
235/35/19 Dunlop sp winter Max or whatever they are called. Absolutely love them.
Kuhmo Ecsta PS91 245/40/R18
I have Dunlop Graspic DS-3s on my car in the winter and they perform quite well on dry and wet pavement. They are a bit more slippy and the feel is a bit more muddy
Below 40F the tires get hard and lose grip. Add a little bit of snow and they are slick as fuck. The awd helps but the overall loss of traction makes driving sketch as fuck.
Stock Dunlops are garbage. I barely got 17kish out of mine and they were at 3/32".
