Kumho Ecsta if you wanna save some money and have decent all around performance. I don't know how good they are in the snow, they seem to be decent in the rain so far.

Thanks for all your inputs..
If I put 234/45/17 tire on 17*7.5 offset 40 rim, will it rub?
Also, will it looks weird if I go for 215/50/17 on 17*7.5 rim?? Many shops recommend Dunlops SP Sport A2 215/50/17 tires. Are they good?

sumitomos...
I've tried Yokohama Parada 225/45/17
I've tried Nitto NT 450 225/45/17
I currently have Sumitomo HTRZ-II 235/45/17
I say the Sumitomos are the best that I've tried. Nittos are scary in the rain, but pretty good on dry pavement.
Paradas are ok overall, but pretty loud on the highway.
Sumitomos kick *** on dry pavement, and very good in rain.
