I said that. We do sell a lot of them, and have had zero complaints about them. We even have them on our shop pickup, and are very happy with them.

205/60s are wut I run too, I have no complaints either.. mine are BF Goodrich Touring T/As.. I've never had any noise from them. but if i was running almost 40psi... i would expect it!

you do realize our cars are supposed to have 30, right? and dont give me track or auto-x ppl's tire pressure, I doubt that u could beat honda's reccomendation of 30. mine are slightly over 30... prolly 32ish... but 36...38? close to 40 is just rediculous.. you shouldnt expect more than about 1/2-3/4 the life out of those tires..

Dunlop A60, great traction in snow and good dry! Wear fast!

Bridgestone RE950. Very quiet. Great grip for an all-season tire. Excellent wet traction. I have a set on my G2 Legend and I love them. I've tried Yokohama AVS-dB - a good tire for budget minded. I've also tried Bridgestone Tauranza LS-V - not as good as the Yokos. I also have a set of Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S (215/45/17) on my Civic. It's an excellent and fairly cheap for a high-end tire. But for a H rated tire, I would definitely recommend the RE950.

The max pressure on the Kumho ECSTA HP4 716 is 35PSI. The tires are at 33PSI. I replaced a pair (due to a sidewall bubble from a nice pothole) a couple months ago. They had about 20K on them. The only treadwear problem was from the passenger side rear, since it is not within specs. The other one was wore evenly.

Shop pickup is a 2wd Toyota with nice wheels, new paint, etc. It is not your typical beater shop truck. They are a nice sporty tire, and look nice.

Please post your review once you have them mounted. You dont even really need snow tires with these! (edit)

Nevermind. you live in Canada. Sorry. You probably have a suv with snow chains.

Yeah 195/60R15s the best size. I'd recommend Yoko Avid H4S for a decent A/S performance tire. I agree with "phuviano" though, get yourself some snows for the winter; any A/S sucks once you're driving in more than a couple inches of slop.
