Can not decide on my new set of shoes

I can't really decide which is better. Right now I'm running Kumho Ecsta SPTs and I LOVE them, but I am wanting to go with a smaller sidewall(currently 215/55/16).

I want to run a 205/45/16 now so the tires are not as wide. Vehicle is going to have my son in it when he's born.

The cobalt has ran both BF Goodrich(drag radials) and Kumho. And I'm not really a tire guru.

i'm going to be going with the exclaim's. I've heard nothing but good things (a few people on here have them already and love them), they have a better rating on Tirerack.com than tires twice the price, and i like the tread pattern.

the name scared me at first but after reading everything i have, i'm def. going with the Exclaims

I'm running SPTs and I love them, but they do not offer it in the size I would like.

My speedo is already off by 5mph.

nexen n3000 ... just put them on and they feel way better then the pirellis.. plus i do not get any type of body scrub like i was getting with the pirellis when making hard turns one way or another.... 380a treadwear AA traction.. just overall a badass tire... handles and rides much smoother now
