how much you looking to spend? i think kumho's are really good i just got done with a set of kumho solous kh16's they were good untill they had no tred left they have the ecsta ast all season high performance tire which looks good and is not super expensive though you will get several other opinions its up to what you want and can afford

Kumhos are not as good as you think. They are made cheap, therefore ride the same.

But, Depending on your budget, Kumhos and Falken (Ze-512 and Ze-115) Will be the LEAST expensive. The Ze-115 is a pretty good tire, Not going to fairso well in ice or snow though. The Goodyear Eagle Response is an Excelent All season tire being great in Water, Ise, and snow and offering Great dry traction. I would also recomend the Yokahama YK520 It is similar to the Eagle Response.

Just let me know your budget and such and i will be glad to help you in choosing.
I work at Discount Tire in Houston if you have Questions.

Had a set of Kumho Ecsta's. I hated em. Vegas streets, going 5mph around a dry corner and I would still somehow spin out. .....this was, and still is, stock mind you.

Still a bit of a dummy when it comes to technical terms, but I currently have BF Goodrich G-Force's. They retailed $224 each at the dealership and I got em on discount for about $125 each. (Employee discount ftw) Sadly no, I do not work at a ford dealership anymore. (I wish...)

$30 each for mine FTW

The G-forces are Excelent Tires! Especially the KDW's but... They are not needed on a Sixer unless your pretty heavily moded.

The G-force T/A's would be good for sixer.

wel i liked the kumho's personally i still have them up front for several reasons 1 i cant affored front tires untill i get my next pay check bi-weekly pay FTL 2. they still have decent tread on them and grip fairly well in the front your not oging to get very good traction out of a all season tire thats good on snow and what not if you dont want to spin tires and what not stick with summer tires which i know some arent blessed to live in the south where we dont get snow all that much if at all but i do
