Default RE: Kumho vs. Sumitomo

I've got Sumitomos (275/45/17 & 315/35/17) on mine, and for a daily driver that's never been over 85 mph they're great... My buddy had them on his '96 GT with no problems, and he seemed to think he was Steve McQueen whenever he got behind the wheel...

I've got a Belvedere to get back on the road, so I wanted something that looked good, and rolled in both directions... so far no complaints in daily driving wet or dry...

i love my kumhos. decent treadwear and better traction that stockers, not as good as DRs though. price was certainly right for my 275 kumhos too.
