Default Getting new tires on Friday!

Made a decision on what tires to go with after much research.

They are Kumho Solus KH16's

They got great reviews on tirerack.com and it'll only be $414 out the door. Not bad imo! Anything will be better than my Fuzion Zri summer tires. The fuzion's are only a yr old and have plenty of tread left... Anyone think its worth trying to sell them?? Or should I just let the tire shop keep them and probably re sell them as used?? Im guessing it wont be worth the hassle to lug them home and try to find a buyer. Anyway- anyone else have kumho's??

Are you ditching the old tires for all season tires on the same rims, or are you taking another set of rims to get tires for winter?

Ya im getting all seasons to replace summer tires on my stock wheels. I live in Ohio so Im affected by all 4 seasons. All types of weather. Winters are not consistant though, some we barely get any snow and some we get a lot. I just want a good tire that doesnt need to be changed every season.. hence all season tires. I read about the esctas and they were great according to the reviews, but they were discontinued and were replaced with the Solus. I plan on getting rims sometime, but not very soon, and winter is coming soon, so i figured i better make the switch before i or my wife kills ourselves trying to get around on summer tires in the snow/cold weather. The tires i have are awesome for summer and temps above 50 degrees, but once the temps get low and snow hits the ground i have to start crossing my fingers.

Wait, the ecsta is Kumho's ultra high performance summer tire.... You sure you want that tire for this time of the year??? Where do you live??? You know it says "NA" on tire rack for those, which means you would be on a suicide mission driving in snow with those?? I hope you live in Florida or something.
