I like mine, too.
195/50-15 712's on my 4ks. I have about 8-9k miles on mine and they don't look very worn yet. They do pretty well wet and dry. I like them so far. Good value for everyday driving.

I heard they are great as summer tires... but if you live in an area with more severe winter
conditions, you would either want to switch to something more A/S friendly or get another set of tires for the winter.

I don't like mine, at all.
I've posted before on this. Myself and some others actually think the Ecsta Supra 712's suck. Mine came on the used rims I bought, and I would not buy them again. Ever. I really don't think that they are a "good tire for cheap", especially not when pushed even fairly hard.
There are SO many better tires out there. IMO, don't go cheap on tires. (OK, at least not too cheap...) A good set of tires can be a huge upgrade performance-wise, and a poor set of tires really makes your car feel/handle like crap. Look at it this way, better tires will run you what, $100, or less, in extra cash for the entire set, and you'll be driving on them for how many months? (probably 12+ months?) It ends up being a few bucks more but over time the enjoyment/satisfaction you'll get from the better rubber will be more than worth the extra cost now.
