I've got SPT's and love them for a street tire.

Nice! More expensive but I've heard good things about them.

Default 2nd these.

I had the Kumho Ecsta Supras right before I got the exclaim UHPs. I hated the Kumho's with a passion. Noisy! And they followed ruts or grooves in the road (roads suck around here). The sidewall was stiffer on the Kumhos, but that was the only high point of them.

Default The sidewalls are SOFT. If you can live with that. Otherwise, they are quiet and last long.

... I have them on my A4. If you do lots of fast sweeping turns and sudden changes in directions, you'd be better with a stiffer side walled tire.
