Default Need inf on tires 215/45/16

It's time to replace my worn out kuhmo ecsta ast tires that came with my wheels. I have searched tire rack and discount tire but I don't get many choices of tires in the 215/45/16 size. I have a boosted integra ls so something that hooks good is what I'm looking for but with a good price. Not trying to spend a ton of money. I'm looking at the ecsta xs in 215/45/16 The reviews seem very good for them especially considering the price except for mention of wet driving. My car is not driven in the cold/winter months but it does see rain.
Feedback is appreciated or suggestions for another brand/model of tire. Thanks

The Kuhmo Ecsta XS is a great tire and I would highly recommend them. I have the 225/50/16 on my Integra type-R and have found them to be extremely grippy both on the street and on the racetrack. I don't really think you are going to get any better bang for your buck in that size. I personally haven't tried them in the wet so I can't comment on that.

50 views and 1 reply. Sometimes I wonder about this forum. Well I went ahead and ordered them just now. I guess trial and error is always the best review.

Yeah, too bad some of us have lives to live (and tracks to drive) and don't live here 24/7.

The XS is a good choice, just like the reply you got said...
