Re: What's everyone think of Kumho's??
i personally love khumos for gripping the raod. they grip in turns very well, and have a faily nice lifetime on them. As for launching, I am not impresses much with them, and loved the viziolas (sp?) I use to have on the front of my car, could launch like a bitch, but they also killed my pocket.
for the money and turns they are great tires.

Re: What's everyone think of Kumho's??
The thing with Kumho's is that they cover a wide area of people for the import community where many others don't. Falken also cover some but not as much in that area compared to the Kumho.
I sell alot of 205/40ZR17 and the only BFG tire comparible in that size is the G-Force KD which cost around 175+ a tire. Or they can spend about 100 a tire. The average Import owner(mainly under 22) cant afford a left/right side only tires that costs anywhere from 175-225 a piece.
I personally like the BFG better, I push BFG on Mustangs, TA/Camaros, Corvettes, and Supras. However BFG does not really offer alot of 35/40 series tires that are narrow in width to the import world of the civics, preludes, etc running 17 inch rims.
