I considered perhaps it was the quality of the tyre but from most of the reviews and tests on Tire Rack, it seemed promising. The Kumho Ecsta SPT is highly rated and ranked 1st in the last test. The load rating is higher (99 I believe) than the original 94 rating, which I have on my winters. I did upsize +1 but only to the sport model size, P235/50R18 and the wheels aren't any heavier so it's not like I added a huge amount of unsprung weight.
