Default Kumho or Sumitomo
I am going to be placing an order within the next couple of hours and was wondering which one you would rather buy?

Why those two?

What do you plan on doing with the car?

I usually just do some street racing. I usually go through a set of tires in about 4 months. Just wanting to know which is better.

Ecsta Supra 712s are going to fail miserably at street racing

Spend a few extra dollars and get the kumho MX's. Theyre a completely different tire than the 712s, and they should be a step up from stock as opposed to a step down.

My car came with the sumos. They have a softsidewall and hook ok on the concrete. Better than goodyear gsc's.
