Tires Kumho or PHANTOM

Kumho Tires

The 245/45/19 got kumho less than 200 each. If your rims look the same just change all to the same cheapest one.

Pros: cheap price

Rating 4.0

Example, I switched to Kumoho from GSC's on 93 Trans AM. Yes I gave up traction but I gained smoother ride, better wet road handling, and about 12000 more miles a set. which basically doubled what I was getting out of GSC's. No question a better tire. Kumoho was still not big yet but what they did make was really good.

Pros: smoother ride, better wet handling, longer mileage
Cons: less traction
Mileage: 19312 km

Kumho Tires

Upgraded to pilot sport AS at 30k miles because the Kumhos were no longer gripping in the rain (even though there was plenty of tread left).

Pros: better grip
Cons: poor rain grip
Mileage: 48280 km

Kumho Tires

The Kumho's are a 200tw track focused tire that can be run on the street. The limit of grip exceeds anything the PS4S can do, I'm sure you can push the V730s to the point were you can get he tail to slide but it is going to be at a much higher speed and a harder to control.

Pros: track focused tire
Cons: harder to control

PHANTOM Tires

Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.

Pros: may wear well (hard rubber)
Cons: poor traction, not safe, avoid cheap

Kumho Tires

Burned through the edges of my front tires to the chords from the abuse and a steep learning curve with understeer. Since the AWD system is sensitive, I had to replace all four tires, not just the front two.

Cons: burned edges, short lifespan, sensitive to AWD
