Re: which tires

i've got kumho 712s just recently
i like them, they seem to stick pretty good, and they'll only start to break loose in the corners if you push it too hard (meaning, you can feel them starting to lose traction rather than at one second you're fine, next, you're in a curb)
they might not be that good for rain, i don't usually drive my z28 in rain if i can avoid it (that's the rs duties right there )
87$ on tirerack.com
also, next time, use the wheels and tires forum
just a heads up

Re: which tires

I had ordered some Kuhmo,s 712 but they was on backorder so I cancelled the order. Went to a local tire shop yesterday and they had the Fuzion's great looking tires, hopefully they last as good as they look, plan on ordering some of them tonight from Tirerack.com. The local shop wanted $650 plus tax for a set of 275/40/17's I called them today and they can mount and balance a set of tires for $15 wheel. So I'm going to order from Tirerack and have them mounting at the tire shop for a total of $560.
