Had to buy tires today...

[ynkedad]

Well, the other day I just happened to look at my front passenger tire and noticed the inner treads were toast. The driver side wasn't as bad, but was on its way as well.
So I went to a dealer that has done all of my cars tires in the past and he gave me a quote on some Kumho Ecsta Sports (non-runflats).

I went home and did some searching here (for opinions on this brand) and at tire rack, among other places for ratings and cost. I found out that these tires actually rated really well compared to the Big name brands. Even better than the Stock Tires and Most others in their class (according to Tire Racks charts and information).

Anyway, For 4 tires (original sizes) it cost me a Grand Total of $906.48.
That includes Tax, Mounting & Balancing.

At Tire Rack it would have cost $784.30. Which would have included Shipping Only. No Tax etc.
For a difference of $122.18

So what do ya's think?
Anyone else have these tires?
