Default Tire decision. What's your pick and why?
* Kumho Ecsta ASX (all-season ultra-high perf.)
* Yokohama AVS ES100 (summer ultra-high perf.)
* Continental ContiExtremeContact (all-season ultra-high perf.)

Also, has anybody heard of the Fuzion tires? Are they worth considering over these?

I live in South Florida (summer tires are fine) and favor handling and cornering over comfort, noise and treadlife.

Default If you live in FL, why are you looking at all-season tires?
Check out the:

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
Goodyear F1 GS-D3
Kumho Ecsta MX
Falken GRB-451
Bridgestone S-03
Toyo T1-S

The ES100 you have on your list isn't bad, just that there are better tires out there.

Maybe 2-3 years ago, there are better tires out there these days. Bridgestone needs an S-04.

But the choices suck, so people are making better suggestions.

Default If those people are willing to pay the difference in price, I'll seriously consider their choices.
It's called having a budget.

Default If you would take a minute to research the prices, you might find something suitable.
It's called doing your homework.
