Kumho Ecsta SPT tires
I have them, love the grip. They wear fast tho. Got 12k on the fronts (225/40/19) and they'll need replacing at 16-18k.
Could be my driving tho
I've never had a tire last more than 20k miles, not even 225/60-16 Michelin MXV4's from years back.
Edit: They'll feather and rumble a bit at low speeds (really only noticeable in the car, from what the wife says), do to separate shoulder blocks. But for the price, I'm happy.
They also run true size-wise. Other tires, like Nankang's run skinny. The tread pattern looks much smaller than the tire width would dictate. I put Kumho's on the rear as well for 27535/19, looks pretty good if you don't mind a little bulge vs. the standard stretch look most go for here.

I have my second set of tires, one thing i can complain about is they are really loud when it gets cold. In the summer time they grip really well and handles really good for the price good tires.

The tires I have run on the G from most favorite to least favorite:
1. Nitto Invo
2. Hankook Ventus V12
3. Kuhmo Ecsta SPT
4. Falken 452
The Kuhmos are an OK tire in their price range, but IMHO the Hankooks are light years better. However, as I added power to the car the Hankooks started to disappoint with their level of grip, hence the move to the Invos. They are a little more expensive, but worth every penny.
