Default Opinions needed!! Falken ZE329 vs. Kuhmo Ecsta 711

I searched Falken and didn't see anything regarding the ZE329 (hope I didn't miss anything), but I'm considering the Falken ZE329 or Kuhmo Ecsta 711 and am looking for input. I had some Falken ZE512's on my WRX and they seemed to be just fine, but have no experience with Kuhmo's at all, so any opinions/reviews/comments would be greatly appreciated!

i got the Kuhmos on my Honda Pilot. I got no complaints. if you go the tirerack.com, they have a owners rating system. The kuhmos rate kind of high.

I just removed the 711's to put the winters on. They have about 10,000 miles on them, I don't see them lasting more than another 5000 miles. They are very good, inexpensive tires ($45 each) but 15,000 miles of treadlife ain't the best. According to Tirerack.com, they aren't even available in my size anymore. (205/50-16)

I had the 711's on mine for the warm weather, and i put 18,000 miles on them and they handled great, and the tread still looks great. I think i should get a min. of three seasons on them more likly four.
