I wouldn't recommend the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinums... I have the 5 speed manual and you have to baby it away from a stop in the rain to keep from spinning and they seem to be OK right up to 70mph on the highway in the rain and then it starts feeling all squirelly right at the 70 mark in gentle rain. The heavier the rain, the farther down you have to back it. They have about 20,000 miles on them and still have about half the tread left but, I am looking for some new tires. I don't want to have these things on any longer than I have to. Seriously... the last time I felt tires this twitchy in the rain... I was 19, working minimum wage, broke and they were bald tires, on an old Lebaron Turbo Coupe. LOL!
