Consumer reports recommends the 512.

Based on comfort, noise, wet traction. That's probably what I'll try next.

wouldn't buy any of them. i've driven on all but the 512, and was not impressed with any of them.

for the money (depending on the size you're looking for), the falken azenis sport/RS is really a fantastic tire. only $111 on 225/45/17 size - that's a deal!

Try Sumitomo (cheap) or Bridgestone (expensive)...

I have tried the Kumhos, but I am now on Sumitomos. They feel a lot better than the Kumhos. Unbeatable price.

If you are willing to spend more, the Bridgstone S-03 have excellent reviews.
