My papa always told me, "be safe, always wear a 225/55ZR16 Bridgestone RE730."

I'd go for the ones that give a really good grip.

Ones that are sticky in wet weather.

Ones that perform hot and cold.

Ones that give a nice tight feel.

We are talking about tires right?!

Well, the Kumho's seem to be the best deal there. I've heard good things about them from people who use them at AutoX as well, they last longer than normal (of course, they go through like 1 set/season), handle just as well as more expensive tires and are cheap.

Ive got the Kumhos and they totally rule...while they've still got plenty of tread anyway They don't last too long though unfortunately. 1 set/season sounds about right.

I have KDWS's. I like them. Look sharp. I have heard that the KDW's are not good in the snow. Mine are fine, but then again they were made for that. I think the KDW's are more of a wet and warm weather tire, where as the the KDWS is a all weather tire.

This year was a mild winter and I had to fight to make my tires look grip. RTStabler has the KDW's on his CSVT they were stock he says they are ok, except they suck in winter!
