a year ago I narrowed it down to those and the Yokohama AVS dB tires. I went with the Yokos, figuring on getting a bit more quality, and a quieter tire. The tire shop said they had mixed reviews on the Kumho's (koom-ho?), but no the Yokos.

kumhos are not a good tire for me any ways they dont have rim protectors and the side walls guggled up too much discount had to replace all four before they just said i could get a new kind of tire so i went with the nitto 555 xtream they are a verry nice tire so there is my 2 cents so good luck with what ever you go with

I just got a set of the BF goodrich g-force T/A KDWs. I agree,they are a good tire for all road driving with the occasional race.When i bought the car it had Dunlops on it. I dont remember which kind they were, but i wouldve gotten them if i couldve found them somewhere. They had a softer compound than the goodrich and grabbed the road, but i dont think theyd last as long as the goodriches
