    I use the Kumho Solus tires on my 2011. They last long, and have good all-season driving. I normally switch them out for winter tires during the cold season (I live in NJ), but I skipped 2015 because it was a warm winter and they did well in occasional snow and ice as well. Also, being very cheap helps. In my area I tend to replace tires due to damage before they wear out, so a good $50 tire is what I look for.

    I have run solas k22 on my 07 and they were great really nice quiet smooth road but they did not last long maybe 25000 miles but down here roads are hard on tires. They were only 65 each.
    I miss them I have GY TRIPLE TREADS and they have a terrible ride.
    I would go with those Ecstas in a heartbeat.

    I had tirerack drop shipment right to my tire guy no problem. See if your guy is on there list of preferred dealers.
