I have the Ecsta Platinum LX on my Fit right now. Good tire, and did pretty well in the snow despite only 5/32nds of tread left. I can't help but notice that the PA 31s garner only $50 back. This is odd given that it is Kumho's highest rated tire on TireRack. While the price of the tire is very low for the seemingly outstanding value, I can't help but thinking "you get what you paid for" with this Chinese made tire. Despite the high scores on TireRack, some PA 31 owners have remarked about the soft side wall and have experienced curb scraping blow outs. I was going to get the PA 31s at the end of this year before the new snow comes in, but I think I'll switch to the Firestone Precision Touring instead.
