Kuhmo, Kuhmo again next time...
Cheap, good progressive handling, no squeal at any load, and great even wear.... Not as sticky as some, but when rolling the meats, I couldn't get it to slide at all with tires any stickier.. These are more fun and last loads longer than a stickier tire would.

Thanks. I guess they aren't so good in Vancouver's spring/fall, eh?...
I currently have Kumho Ecsta SPT's. They handle puddles well and have lots of grip in dry. The only complaint I have is the humming noise when coming to a stop and impact noise, oh and their weight at 26 lbs each (235/40R18).

It certainly wouldn't be my first choice...
If I was still in Vancouver, I probably would've gone with the Goodyear GS-D3 when I bought new tires earlier in the year. The Toyos did work quite well when I was still in that city though, and they're about as light as tires go.
