Need some help: Tire opinions

I need some new all-seasons and Im in between 2. So give your input on my two choices please.

Kumho Ecsta AST

Fuzion HRi

The Fuzion's have a better rating, but I have no knowledge of them, any help is appreciated...

Well I don't hear many good things about the quality of the Kumhos.
Aspecialy the sidewalls. Some people like them, some hate them.

I have heard (and read) that generally the Kumho tread life is horrible.

I had the kumho's on my old mustang in a 255 18inch and they were pretty good. It was not a great winter tire, but the treadlife was way better than the pirellis I've almost burned thru on my cobalt in less than 15k miles. In the summer they were nothing short of excellent...great grip and very quiet ride.
