I love my BF goodrich KDW's. Excellent traction dry and wet and they have 15K on them and still look new.

i recomend you make sure that the tire dia is very close between the front and rear tires....

unless yours is a base model.

Yes, Kumho's are good.

Tire rack recomends a 35 because they ride smother and will have a less tendency for blow out because the profile handles more shock.
