Kumho Ecsta MX: $1115
Do not carry Nitto (Invo, 555, NeoGen)...
Goodyear F1 GSD3, Michelin PS2, etc are all $1400 + +
Same sizes, but from Discount Tire:
Do not carry Toyo...
Falken: $688
Kumho: Incomplete sizes
BFG TA KDW: $866
Nitto NT555: $686
Invo: $805
NeoGen: no 275/R18, but 275/R19s
I've heard a LOT of mixed reviews on the Nittos, Toyos, Falkens, and even the Kumhos...
For example, on the Falken reviews, people either said it's the quietest tire ever, or the loudest - - that doesn't help for sh*t!

Goodyear F1 GSD3 and Michelin PS2 were tested among a few other tires in a test and were rated as the best of the bunch. The F1's had the highest rating.

PS2's or BFG's! I just replaced my Bridgestones with the Michelins, can you say so choice, but from my past cars, though the Michelins cost much more, they also lasted much longer than my firestones, yokohama, and khumho's I had on the celi. The Michelins are quiter, provided a more comfortable ride, and much confidence it wet conditions. In tires, you get what you pay for, they cost more for a reason...

i payed $ 350 each for my yokohama 265-30-19 , they are shot so i was happy to find general 265-30-19 for $ 140
whether they are better or worse than yokahama i don;t know , but i drive the speed limit and conservative so performance don't matter and tire life is all that matters

I think they should be fine
