I've got the esta spt in 245-30-19 and they are great for the price. Less road noise than the stock pilot sport and good wear. Haven't seen snow yet with them on but they do well in wet conditions. My bother just put some esta ASX on his supra turbo and he likes it but traction is an issue for all seasons. Hope that helps.

I got them on stock 17's. I went with 235/45/17 ASXs and like them a lot so far. They don't look goofy if you are lowered or on Z springs.

I ran the khumo's on my last car (acura integra with 16's). Those tires were really sticky for the price, not on par with the stock tires on the 6mt though. Really good for the price for everyday driving. I actually got something in the neighborhood of 45k miles out of a set and they still had tread-but were old enough to replace; and I didn't treat them gently.

whatever you do DO NOT ever buy Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tires. Unbelievable amount of road noise. Really really sticky but the noise is unbearable.
