typically you'll want to run a 275/40/17, but you can step up to a 285 or go narrower if you choose.

will you see snow at all?

Kumho=craptastic. ive said this in MANY threads now, the best tire so far that I have tried, "including the Kumho-Craptastics" Have been the BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sport A/S

Amazing tire so far and man they actually HOOK UP good too for a little street fun...

while their lower end stuff is pretty bleh, a lot of their higher end tires actually perform quite well. almost all tire companies make at least 1 tire that's pretty bad, and another that's pretty good.

Ive had three sets of tires BFG g-force sports,fusion zr1,and kuhno asx.Out of those three tires the kuhno asx's handle and ride the best.Ive talked to other guys with other cars and they said that the kumo is a really good tire for the money.I prefer the michelin sport ps2 or possibly the nitto nto-5 but I didn't have the money.The way to tell about a tire is to try it.Everybody has there opinion.Actually the g-force sports are good for the money too.

I needed some tires and since I haven't worked in two months I decided to get the kumo's because I had to get some tires and I got a really good deal on them.That gives me some time to get the tires that I really want.Bfg tires are really good,and you can't go wrong with them.I want to get the michelin sport ps2's.Most of the guys I talk to with vette's and f bodies like those the best.They are pricey though.

Pirelli all weather P zero nero or however it is spelled makes a good all season tire. I had them on for 2+ years in snow, rain and everything and never regretted buying them. The were a top choice on Tire rack for the longest time.
