Tires Kumho or SUMITOMO

I have a GLS v6 tip with Kumho 7400series snow tires. I'm very happy with them. No problems what so ever

I have directional Sumitomo HTR-Z II tires and I don't have a single complaint after almost 6 months. Very quiet, great grip, great wear rating, and very good wet traction.

I got a set of Sumitomo HTZII's and those are the shizzit, very responsive, good traction, and best of all super quiet.

Kumhos are awesome! I had them on my civic and Ive hit at least 160 in that car! They are very comfortable and they handle very well.

New tires (Sumitomo HTR-4, 195/50/15) All parts replaced have been done in the last 10 miles.

As for the Kuhmo 712 it is a great, cheap tire for dry and rain conditions but in the bigger sizes that I have experience with (i.e. 225/45ZR17) they stunk in the snow.

I got my first kumho after having goodyear euro t/a's (which bl*w) OMG was I impressed with Kumhos

I have 17" Kuhmo 712's and they are freakin awesome....

I've got the Ecsta Supra 712's (15") and they seem OK. Maybe because I don't have much experience with different types of tires, but they seem to slide a bit on hard turns. They also wear fairly quick.

I'm running Sumitomo HTRZ-2's. Loved them for the first 10,000 miles and now I hate them.
