Last week I replaced my stock Continentals with Kumho Ecsta's from the Tire Rack. Much nicer driving.. a little quieter and a slightly softer ride (the wheel allignment I did at the same time may have helped a little, too!). It was $532 + tax & shipping for the four of them. You can't beat that. There was a thread a couple of months ago on these tires - I'm pretty sure that everybody who bought them liked them.
