Got Kumho ECSTA 4X installed on my wagon almost 2 months ago. 235/40/18 95XL. They replaced the good year eagle GT's. About 2k miles on them now, they are quiet and softer riding then the good year, but doesn't grip as well on dry road. (i.e. with the good year, I could not get the front tires to spin from a dead stop even if I floor it, with the kumho, they spin for a fraction of a second before the 4motion kicks in) haven't had rain so don't know how they handle in wet. But they are definitely more comfortable than the good year.

Pros: quiet, softer riding
Cons: doesn't grip as well
Mileage: 2000 km

I had Kumho LE Sports on my 95 M3 and really liked them as a street tire. Quiet, good dry/wet traction, and the price was right. I'd buy them again.

Pros: quiet, good traction
Vehicle: BMW

Toyo Tires

Tires - I almost forgot! The Toyo tires were fine. Like any street tire, they got a bit greasy near the end of a 20 minute track session. Otherwise, no issues.

Pros: fine, no issues
Cons: bit greasy
Vehicle: Audi

The ride is very soft/smooth and quiet. Far superior in handling (obviously) and noise than the factory Michelin's were.

Pros: soft, smooth, quiet ride
Mileage: 2200 km

Toyo Tires

The tires I had on my 20th were recalled because of some side wall crakcing that caused them to leak air and les schwab sold me a set of 225/40/18 Toyo somehting or other for $312 out the door because of the hassle I went through with the recalled set I bought from them.

Pros: good service
Cons: sidewall cracking, leak air
