I have Kumho Ecsta HP4 716's and I love them. Best part was $60 a tire at Tirerack! I was looking for a cheaper tire like you and came across these on their website. After reading the test results and reviews I decided to try them. They had over 1,000 reviews and everyone seemed to love them. They were rated superior in all but 2 categories and the other two were rated excellent. $280ish for all four to my door. I don't race my contour or take corners at really fast speeds so they are perfect for me. Check them out you won't be disappointed.
