      i've heard some funny things about the kumhos... but, i still feel like a tire is a tire is a tire 80% of the time.

      i've owned a few pairs of yokohamas on a few cars, and i love the HTR+4s that i've got now

          I have BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW's on my car (not the KDWS's). I love these tires. I couldn't be any happier. I have 215/60/16 and paid $110 each w/o installation. 3.23's, an open differential and a 100 shot of nitrous in first gear. The tires still hook up. Good tires are cheap insurance. In an emergency situation, it can mean the difference between a "close call" and a "fender bender"

            I also vote for the BF Goodrich g-Force KDW's. I got a good deal on mine, $150 shipped for all 4 in 245/50ZR-16's (they were cut on a tire lathe, to make them flat, cost half the tread but well worth it overall!)

                When I bought my rims, they had 712s on them already. I was poor and had to wait a while 'til I could afford new tires, and these suckers ran 'til they were almost completey bald!

                Don't know if you're going for traction as your primary factor in choosing your tire, but 712s will last forever.

                  If you are willing to pay around 150 I have Dayton Daytona ZR's at 275/40/ZR17 and they are damn good and it looks awesome when you shine them up nice.

                  Good luck,
                  Travis.

                    Yokohama AVS all the way man. It has the grip wet/dry of the Kuhmos and treadlife of the Goodyears to me. I had Goodyears, then Kuhmos and now Yokohamas. BTW, its cheap 93 bucks each. [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img]
