I just put Kumho Ecsta 712's on my 93 and like the way they look and grip. At $88/pc and a speed rating of "W", they were the best bang for the buck.

I just put a set of Kumhos on my car last week.

I got the ECSTA Supra 712's and am very pleased with them. For $377 shipped to my door, you just can't beat it!
