Tires

Does anybody run following tires:
Kumho Ecsta ASX
They are 225/45/17s. I am looking for a decent set of all season tires (Chicago), and these are pretty reasonable?

Also, another one that I got recommended was
Bridgestone Turanza LS-V (Grand Touring All-Season)
Any opinions?
Thanks

Another follow up:
Would 225/55/17 be OK on 17x7 rims on 2002?

I used to have Turanza LS-H on my Altima(15s). The grip was phenomenal and they lasted almost 65,000 hard miles. Hopefully these new Turanzas will be just as good. Don't mistake the LS-V for the Turanza EL42 which has gotten crappy reviews.

I am currently running Turanza LS-H on the stock 16" rims. They are very good tires...much better replacement than the original Goodyear RSA's. I have them for 36K+ miles and there are still plenty of threads left on these tires.

I'm running the continental extreme contact 235/45R-17. They are on 17x8 wheels, but they have been great. Good performance and 400 tread wear.

I've been looking at those Ecsta ASX's too but they just came out this month so I doubt anybody has an opinion about them yet. Judging by their specs they look like they best tire out there for the money (all season tire). I like the fact that they are especially made to be quiet and have a better temperature and treadwear rating than the ContiExtreme Contacts. Being 'W' speed rated and dirt cheap doesn't hurt either. I will be ordering either those or the ContiExtreme's tomorrow. They don't sell the Ecsta ASX in 215/55/16 so I have to decide if I want to go with 225/55/16.
