I think overall you made a great choice. If anything, use this purchase to gain more experience with different brands of tire.

Let us know how they are.

I for one would be very grateful if you would post back from time to time on how you like the Firestone Precision Touring tires.
We've got about 5K on the new Firestone tires...so far so good. Ride is much better and road noise is less than the Yokohama's...and the Yokohamas were much better than stock.

Kumho Ecsta PA 31

The Kumho Ectsa PA31 looks to be a good value tire. It outperformed the other contenders on Tirerack's tests, especially Wet Traction and handling. The fact that it's also rated UTQG 500 gives you the lifespan your looking for.

I've been using a variety of Kumho's for about 10 years now. They never disappoint me and are almost always better than the stock tire Honda gives.
I have always used Kumho on pick ups then got my '10 Fit. Ready for new tires and went investigating and am still convinced Kumho is still the tire for me. Ordered the set of Ecsta PA 31s. Excellent things are said about the tire. Time will tell natch', but I feel I will be happy.

I will be interested to hear how they are, particularly with Road Noise transfer into vehicle

Never noticed a thing. They feel good on the highway too. I mostly do short trips around town but when I was on interstate I never noticed any noise.
