So if you get what you pay for in tires, why are the Kumho MX's comparable to tires that costs twice as much? :)

They're black, round and cheap. That's about it. They're not a very good performing tire in all out dry
performance.  They're decent in the wet and wear
pretty well. You get what you pay for in tires.
The new Kumho MX is an outstanding performing tire,
putting up comparable performance to the S03 and Pilot
for about half the price.

I would agree with Eric. I've used them on my
Corrado in a 205/40ZR17 and they are smooth and
quiet. The grip is quite good compared to other
tires I have tried. I don't use them on the track so
I cannot vouch for their track worthiness, but on
twisty canyon roads they work well. I also don't
have any problems with hydroplaning in the rain.
They remain stable and straight when encountering
large amounts of H20.

Any opinions on the ECSTA's?  $74/each, mounted
and balanced in 205/55/15...cheaper than I can get the Yokohama AVS ES100's. The car will see mostly street use with an occasional autocross...Azenis would probably wear a bit too fast and don't look like they'd be very great in the rain.
