Autocrossers seem to like them. I think they only make summer tires though. Their tires are mostly aimed towards performance over long life. Only bad thing I've heard about them is a short tread life, but it's a trade off.
I have a friend who is running the Ecsta Supras on her Corrado G60 and she seems happy with them. A definite improvement over the BFGs (Comp something?) that were on it when she bought it. Can't comment on tread life yet but they don't seem to be wearing out incredibly fast (unlike the Yoko A509s I had on my old GTI...) Snow traction isn't an issue here (DC) but rain traction is decent.

Kumho makes a full range of tires. The quality seems to be about equal to most any name brand. You will also see them on a lot of 18-wheelers. Rex in Fort Worth
