I've had Kumho Ecsta ASX on my 2004 Aero for the last 26k miles and can report that they are excellent tires. Not as sticky as some of the other higher priced examples, but they wear well, are quieter than the stock Pirellis that came with the car, and are more than adequate for drivers who like to push the car hard, but don't necessarily push the car to the absolute edge of performance.
Tire pressure is always important, but I've found that the correct pressure with these tires is crucial. I run 42 on the fronts, and 41 on the rears. This seems to give me the best balance between wear, noise, and handling.
