Default Kuhmo ASX vs. Kuhmo AST

well decided to go with 245's all around like my vert has on them now.

Tire rack has the Kuhmos ASX for 94 bucks a tire... w rated

and they have the ASTs for 66 bucks a tire... H rated


not trying to be a cheapass, but the budget is tight. should I spend the extra money on the ASX's or go with the ASTs?

Personally the only Kumho I'd run is the MX, supposed to be a very decent tire.

I said that about BFG TAs... until I saw how enxpensive they are on my college budget....

so cheaper tires are the way to go for now... even if they last me a year and a half....

i run free tires lol

got some 255/50/16's off a c4 vette

like said though if you gotta spend money, go cheap.

mustangs have poor suspension setup, lots of wheel hop in the rear.

i wouldnt go bigger than 225 on the front

the 245/45/17 BFG Gforce Sports for my car were 92 a peice, not sure for the 16's

theyre very good tires, wear a bit fast for my liking(the backs at least, lol), but get pretty good traction, and they wont destroy a budget
