"Life expectancy of Turanzas" ... Your's or the tires'?
They are the worst OEM tire put on any car next to the Potenza RE92. I bought my Max with them and replaced them after 400 miles - they are hazardous to your health!
As for snow - you are killing me, literally, if you think of driving with those on!

Back on topic... my EL42's have 52,000 km (32,000 mi) on them and are in desperate need of being replaced. Experiencing some hydroplaning on extreme wet roads -- won't perform in snow at this point.

Kumho ECSTA ASX - 235/50WR17's
Only $106 a piece on TireRack. Any opinions on the size OR brand?

I just put on a set of Firehawk Wide Oval 235/50/17 to replace the OEM Turanza EL42. I'm very happy with them, lots more grip, no squealing and much better looks. They are not an all season tire but an ultra high performance tire with a high (320) treadwear rating. I got them for $117/ea at a Firestone shop but I had them match an online tire distributor's online price to get the 117 which was much lower than retail. Highly recommended. Haven't tried them in the wet yet.
