Not according to this poll, though.

I've had Kumhos in the last 2 F-bodys I've had and have been very satisfied with them. Especially considering the price.

I currently have a set of Kumho Ecsta AST's.

Haha, very true. They seemed to be more popular to me than i thought. I just heard lots of talk regarding Nittos and i've only heard good things about the Eagle F1's.

Nitto's and GY's are definetely quality tires, but at least the GY's are wayyyy too much $$$.

I've also had the GS D3's in one TA and those were probably the best tires I've ever had.

I'd love to have a set of those again, but spending close to 200 bucks each on just 16-inchers is, IMO, just crazy. I don't think they are twice as good as the $100 Kumho's.

Old car (95 Z28 M6) I rocked Nitto Drags on salad shooters with **** tires up front that I can't even remember what they were. This car I have 275/40/17 Fuzion ZRi's up front and used to have the same size BFG dr's out back. Now with the 17x11/17x9.5" combo I still got the Fuzions in front but got 315/35/17 BFG DR's out back. I just can't bring myself not to have DR's on my car anymore
