Neither one is a particularly good tire. It doesn't pay to be cheap when buying tires. They are such an important part of the car for both performance and safety, that you really want to buy top of the line and not skimp.

I recommend Toyo Proxes 4 tires from www.edgeracing.com They are a little more, but unbelievably worth the price. There is a reason that a rather high percentage of people around here are running them

Wow ! I am not knocking the Toyos but , Ecsta AST are a decent tire at a decent price . I strongly disagree that the AST is not a particularly good tire . At $ 77 a tire , it is well worth it . Not to say the Toyos are not worth their price but , if you want to save money and use a good tire , the AST is good . Not much use on snow but , it just depends on how much snow you will drive in . I will not comment on the Hankooks as I have not driven those . If the Toyos are not much more , I would get them but , the AST is a good tire .
Good luck

I have KDW's on my car. They are excellent tires for when its wet. Above average when its dry, and they're Z rated.

eventhough its only 55 out today, i'm gonna put my KDW's on... want to start breakin them in. and its supposed to rain A LOT this weekend. i drove in the rain with them once, and they were awesome.

as far as figuring out tire size. go to 1010tires.com (or 1010tire.com, i forget) and use their tire/rim size calculator.

it is REALLY dependent on what drop (if any) you have. PM me with any questions.
