Kumho makes a good tire. I run MT ET Streets on the silver bucket, BFG G Force (newest tread design) on the 92 coupe, BFG KDWS on the Mrs' 06 GT and Essenza's on the 96 (supposedly they are made by Goodyear. I have had BFG's before on the silver car and they handled well, wet and dry and wore extremely well.

Whatever you get make sure its not Goodyear, IMO they suck. My favorite tires for the money are Dunlops, SP8000's. Theyre VERY sticky so they dont have a long tread life, but they grip like nobodies business. I think they re discontinued and replaced by the SP 9000's. As for kumho's, great tire for the money, got em on my gf's saturn. Shes got Kumho ecstas, after 20K theres virtually no wear on em. On my probe I have BFG KDWS, awesome tire, good wet traction, good treadwear, so far so good.

ya my car which was my dads before had dunlp SPsport5000's on em they are really good tires, dont last too long, but very good traction wet and dry....and make a good burnout tire when your gettin new ones, o and alos when a truck runs u into a curb and takes a chunk out of the sidewall, and you can still go 135 mph comfortably with them.....very good tire

I'm running BFGoodrich G Force T/A KD's. Awesome tire. Good in the rain, excellent in dry conditions. Not cheap but worth it. I had pilot sports before these and the KD's are a sticker, better performing tire in my opinion. The pilots got extremely loud when they got low on tread so I swapped them before they were even worn out. But both tires are way better then P-Zero Rosso's.
