Tires Pirelli or Kumho

I did. So far so good. For the price they seem great.I had some tiger paw performance tires on my car before and the kumho seen to ride just as well

Basically got all the Red Bull/Vettel Era Sponsors covered, drink tons of Red Bull, wear an Edifice Watch, sport Geox Shoes, Pepe Jeans, have Pirelli Tires and even bought an Infiniti.

For the price it's a decent performance street tire.

I was looking for the same size but Kijiji'ed a 1-year old set of Pirelli Winter Carvings, on steelies, for 340. Checked the wheels for rust/cracks, treads, consistent pressure across tires.

I got new Kumho Ecsta PA31 in 195-50-15:

I bought a set of Kuhmo all-seasons for my Jetta. Was extremely pleased with them after not liking the Continentals they replaced (two punctures and two sidewall dimples; one was replaced by Continental).

I have the Kuhmo Solus TA71 on my 2011 Elantra, and so far they seem to be outstanding tires. They're extremely quiet, and have good traction in dry/wet weather. I've yet to experience that hydroplaning or slippage feeling in the rain. These tires also help out handling and steering. On-center feel is much better now.

I thought the Pirellis were smoother and quieter than the Dunlops (all new cars here), but now that I am reading about how bad they become, maybe I am better off with the Dunlops

Yep they are an outdated tire. I hated them on my 2012 Mustang GT.

I have these tires and despise them. Noisiest new tire I've had in at least a decade.
