i personally love my Kumho Ecsta ASX and know that there are dozens in here who agree

[mobomelter]

hows the handling in the rain?

[Gambino]

Well, I havent had a single time when I have been disappointed with them, so handling in dry and rain has been great so far

[mobomelter]

I'll second the Kumhos. Great all-around tire for wet, dry, snow and long wear.

I unfortunately had to find out about the grip in the snow this weekend. We got a damn blizzard! Fortunately the tires are good!

[goldwing2000]

Yeah, we got a few inches, too. Even with 18,000 miles on my Kumhos, I still had no problems!

For a higher performance dry/wet tire, the Kumho MX is awesome. Probably more $$ but they still have a decent treadwear rating.

Personally, i'm going with Falken Azenis, they do have a lower treadwear rating, but they have superior grip. But i live in SoCal and it's pretty much dry all year long.
