I've got Yokohama 520's and had them siped. Great all-season tire. I've driven in snow, insane rain and dry...it was a great tire for all conditions. Very smooth and quite ride too. I would recommend them. Well priced too, $112 each or something like that.

I don't know much about kumho. I'd do a search on google.

the problem with most tires im finding with tires with the exception of pirelli is they don't last very long.....for tires, you've got to understand when my car starts it runs at a very intense pace, so I usaully burn through'em very quickly


for those of you thinking im gonna tear my car up I have made all of the neccesary upgrades so the car can take any abuse I throw at it.

i have kumho and they work great for me. reasonably priced as well. make sure you look at the treadwear rating on the tire. the higher it is the better, if i'm not mistaken.

i dont really peel out and dont go on canyon runs or dont live in a region with extremely different weather conditions so i get away with some tire brand called Federals....they work great and are good on my wallet...if i had the money i would go with falkens or pirellis
