I'm in need of new tires and come to the board for help.

Car: 2006 Scion Tc-No Mods, daily driver, put about 17-18k miles a year on car. Live in Northeast so need a tire good in wet conditions/light snow.

Tires I'm looking at:
Kumho Ecsta
Yokohama S drive
Cooper Zeon ZPT
BF Goodrich G-force Super sport a/s
(keep in mind, I pulled these four tires out of the other posts, reviews I read on this forum)

I want a quiet tire, that is good in the rain, emphasis on quiet.

I'm not really worried about cost, and would rather pay for a quality tire versus compromising quietness.

Thanks for all your help, and please if I missed a great all around tire, please let me know.

Well looks like its narrowed down to
Kumho Ecsta ASX vs General Altimax HP

Thoughts?

 

Go on tirerack.com too, tons of reviews and stats on just about any tire you want.

 

Those were my 2 exact choices. I ended up getting the Kumho's because the General's were not readily available and would have cost a bit more. I got mine @ Discount tire $497 out the door just last week.

 

^^you said the generals were more than the kumhos, yet I just got the Generals at tirerack.com for $390.

 

The Cooper and Kumho's are terrible in the rain. If you're looking for something for rain/snow/quiet, you're looking at the completely wrong tires.

Your best bet is to just own two sets of wheels, summer/winter. No all-season/performance tire will perform in snow conditions like a true winter tire.
