Default Tire question?

I am getting ready to purchase some new all season tires for my stock wheels to use this winter. I'm mainly looking for something inexpensive, good dry and wet traction, and very light snow grip. Im down to 2 tires the FUZION HRI & KUMHO ECSTA AST.

Any thoughts or experiences with either of these tires?

I'd go with the HRI's. Just my opinion. Had bad experience with Kumho on a different vehicle before and haven't heard many bad things about Fuzion.

Thanks for your replies, The only bad thing I've seen in the replies on the Fuzion tire is road noise once they start wearing down. As for the snow, it would be a very light snow, if I know its going to snow much I will get out my old Explorer and put the 4x4 to use lol.

In regards to road noise, the TC in general isn't exactly quiet to begin with but they come with nice stereos for a reason! lol Good luck with your new tires, I think you'll like the Fuzions.
