BEST *Cheap* 225/60/16 All Season Tires
swapped out my crappy 15" rims for 16" rims from the LSS a week ago, thus loosing my near-new goodyear regattas which were decent.
winter is getting done soon, so looking for a set of CHEAPO allseaons with OK Speed ratings...
Currently Running 10,000mile+ Kumho 732'* and the wet and snow performance is lacking much more than the old all seaons.
Looking at:
Kumho ECSTA HP4 716 - (H Speed Rating) - $236
Kumho Touring Plus 732 (T Speed Rating) - $200
Kumho Touring A/* 795 (* Speed Rating) - $188
Yokohama Avid Touring - (* Speed Rating) $232
Which is the best for the price for handling. Snow is not a big deal anymore and it is idaho so not much rain happens here and when it does not a lot comes down.
Any other options I should consider?
Again looking for all around driving/highway and corning peformance and not wanting to spend money in this temporary car.

well my preference for standard all season tires would be the bf goodrich traction t/a'*. they are around $70 a pop I do believe. However from your list, the kumho touring a/* 795'* are probably the best.

"All seasons" tires suck! You canīt get a tire that is good on all friction and heat/cold levels. A winter tire is made so it is still has the right softness at very low tempertures, while a summer tire should stay stiff enuogh to manage very high temps.
Put a summer tire on in winter and it will be hard as plastic, put a winter tire on at summer and it will be soft as a bubble-gum. Not quite but you get my point, there is no good compromise there. So buy a all season tire if you are not planning to keep the car for long. But if you are planning to keep the car for a good while, invest in good winter and summer tires.
BTW donīt know wihat kinda climate you live in but here we get real winters and hot summers. So here itī* best with a diffrent tire for winter and summer
(sorry about my spelling)

I too run falkens. The tires I have are performance tires, V Rated, yet they are meant for use in all seasons. They got performance tire of the year last year I guess. They were not very spendy at all. Something like 60 or so a piece, I do believe. Anyhow, they worked great in snow, and give me really good traction. But I have heard good things about kumhos as well.
