Did find one though that looks good and one of the great tires from Korea: a Kumho Ecsta 4X II. Decent wet weather rating but not so good smow (like a Floridian cares). And Sam's implied $112 on the web but was $176 in the store. Plus. Contis were over $200.


Tirerack was $133 plus $27 shipping but reading the ratings sounds like a decent tire.. Then I received a flyer from Discount Tire Direct for $129.25. This made me look at the regular web sirte: $120. Even with all the addons is $140 less than anything else. (Note: Tirerack lists this tire for the Crossfire, Discount does not. Specs look the same. 420 wear. Do not really care about very high speeds, limit in Florida is 70).


Now just looking for a decent cruise tire for legal speeds with good traction in the rain and this sounds like a decent deal. Any other opinions ?
