Anyone running Kumho ecsta tires? Opinions? Looking for a good not to expensive summer tire.

They've had pretty favorable reviews on here (Kumho Ecsta SPT). I have to buy summers in the next
month. I'm either going with the Ecsta SPT or the Sumitomo HTR Z III. I've read good things about both of those tires, and they're cheap.

Does that include mounting and balancing? If not, it's not that great of a deal.
I'm looking at 235 40 18 and Tire Rack wants $136 per tire shipped to me. Discount Tire is asking $147 per tire but that includes new stem valves, road hazard insurance, and free lifetime tire rotations. If you're buying smaller tires, it should be even cheaper.

I have SPTs and they are really good street tires, but when I ran them at Mid-Ohio last summer in 90 degree heat they got pretty greasy by the middle of my runs. I was pushing in the corners a lot more than I was happy with.
