Which Kumho's did you go with? I just purchaseed a 2000 model and I am getting a headache trying to figure out what brand of tire to goi with.
The car only needs the rear tires and it has non run flats on the front.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I had the ASX on my front wheels and MXs on my rear wheels and I really did like them. The MX was a great tire and the traction was very very good!

I've got the MX's and aside from a little noise I think they are great. Better than the GdYr run flats..........

I just put the SPT's on my car a few weeks ago and just got back from a 2000 mile trip last week including running the Tail of the Dragon, the Chererola Skyway and doing some spirited runs out in Bowling Green and have no complaints at all. I had the MX's before, but they wore out in about 15,000 miles, so went with the SPT's because the were a slightly harder compound so hopefully will last a bit longer.

I put the SPT's on my DD '98 coupe about 2 months ago and have absolutely no complaints. They are quiet, hold corners great in spirited driving and are sure-footed in the rain. Fot the price, I highly recommend them. I would love to have the Goodyear D3's, but for half the price, these are perfect!
