Default Kumho's or BFG's??

I have narrowed my tire selection down to either Kumho Ecsta MX's or BFG g-Force T/A KDW 2. My question now is which one would you guys go with?? Both companies make the sizes I want for the front and rear and both are around the same exact price. Opinions please....

i've heard great things about each tire, and bad things like usual... if you want you can go to tirerack.com and read the reviews.. I tend to read em only by people with Mustang, T/A, Camaros and car owners of that nature... I just bought BF Goodrich g-Sport tires.. I chose those over the Kumho... but my stepbrother has Kumho Supra 912's on his 03 stang and says they;re a good cheap tire..

I have some BFGoodrich KDWS and they are great. I really cant say much about the Kuhmos. I would go w/ the BFGoodrichs but that is just my opinion.

P.S. The BFGs are US made which is important to me but I guess that is just me.

I have Kumho 712's not the ones you're looking at but same brand. I hate them. They have horrible tread wear and traction. Go with the BFG's, I'm getting g-force sports soon.

I have had both and I feel either would be a good choice.
