in 215/45 17.

Who's got them and what do you think?

Replacing Kumho Ecsta ASX in the same size. I liked the Kumho's winter traction, but the warm weather grip was not up to the level of the original Dunlop Runcraps. However, getting 30k+ miles out of the Kumho made that bearable compared to the Dunlops being bald at 15k miles. Also, while I don't need a dedicated snow tire, the Dunlops were just plain scary on the white stuff.

I was looking at Yokohama S-Drives, but they aren't in stock and I have to get new tires installed tomorrow.
