Neither.
I keep reading how the Yoko wear quick and I have the 712's and they are mediocre at best.
Look at Fuzion, Sumitomo, Hankook or something else if you want cheap.

im not too worried about wear... but i am concerned with wet and dry traction. These are summer only tires.
I have heard the fuzions are bad news......anyone else?
i need some more opinions before i decide to buy.

Dry traction on the Kumho is marginal. Like the stock F1's. I can spin them pretty easily. Wet traction is better than the F1's.
What I really don't like about them is the fact that they are quite out of round. It takes a lot of weight to balance them and they tend to track in grooves.
I've read a lot of good tings about the Kumho MX and know that many autoX guys areound here run them. I've also read good things about the Nitto 555.
