Kumho tires (in my opinion) are the best cheap tire you can get. I had a set of Z rated Kumho ECTA 712's and they cost $96 a tire (or $126 installed). They have excellent wet and dry traction, and decent wear. I'm running 18" rims now, but still use the Kumho tires. I've had bad luck with Bf Goodrich, but have nothing but good things to say about these.

Good luck whatever you choose. Also, if you're on a budget, check out the TireRack.com. They sometimes have very good deals for the $$.

The AVS ES100s arent much more per tire than the Kumhos but they are heads and tails above them in performance.. I hated the Kumhos.. I felt they offered no grip (keep in mind that I am used to real good tires.. Had PZeros, then the discontinued AVS Intermediates which were hands down the best tire for the dollar ever) then I had to pass inspection so I got the cheapest tires I could to pass. .The Kumhos.. UGH.. The worst tires I had ever used..

Can anyone from an area where it snows comment on the Yoko ES 100?
I'm stuck between the Yoko's or the g-force kdws. The kdws are ugly.

kdws's work good in the snow and have decent grip but its not worth the $$ for where you live. it snows for maybe 3 days outta the year

obviously you didn't read my sig....EVANSTON, IL formerly of Memphis. You're right, it rarely snows in Memphis. Midwest winters were a rude awakening
