Default Re: Official Tire Review Thread

I bought my '04 Limited about a month ago and have put about 2500 miles on it. It came with these Kumho Ecsta SPT's on the rear, and they are the noisiest tires I have ever heard (aside from monster truck mud tires.) I knew this when I bought the car, and have been reading the forum for suggestions ever since. I am so concerned about ending up with another set of noisy tires, that I have not made the decision yet.

Here are pics of what I would NOT recommend:





My Crossfire is a daily commuter car in southern Texas, so 50 miles a day on mostly interstate, 70 mph, very little wet weather driving and absolutely zero snow. I think my demands in a tire are low noise, tread life, comfort. Based on that, here is what I have gathered from the forum as likely candidates for rear tire replacements:

Toyo Proxes
General G-Max
