KUMHO tires!!
Just bought a used 2004 6 speed for myself with 12K miles, would probably need tires soon . I was looking at the Kumhos as they are pretty cheap compared to others. Does anyone have experience with them? Any other suggestions at lower priced tires( maybe Goodrich, Yokos)?

Take a look at the Wheels, Tires , and Suspension subforum. You'll find lots of info on tires. The Kumho tires get great reviews there.

I just put the Kumho ECSTA SPT's on mine a few months ago. So far I love 'em. Great tire for the price.

pretty weak. my dealer also mentioned the bridgestones, but told me they were $175 a piece plus $15 each for installation.
what do they say: "that man is trying to rob you on the highway"?

Forget Khumo's or anything else. For a good price and Toyo tire quality, Check out the Falken FK-452.

Ahh forgot about those, the Wal-Years are nice but I prefer the Wal-Stones, though neither can compare to the pure joy of Wal-Tussin.

I have kuhmos on my car, they wear slowly, they're noisy... but they're good tires, never lost traction with them.

Steel casters would be quieter than stock.

you must not have the spts, because the spt is remarkably quiet.

I have the Kumho Ecsta ASX, definitely a compromise tire since they are all season. Not as good dry pavement as the stockers. Definitely quiet and a little spongy feeling. They actually work in snow and ice and you are not taking your life into your own hands.
