I have had both the Kuhmo's and the Falken's and I liked both. I would tend to lean toward the Falken's. I have had several sets of them and liked them quite a bit.

Another good one is the Yokahama ES 100. That will probably be my next tire when I get the new rims for the RS. It's a bit more pricey though. $110 for the 245/50-16. Still not bad though.

I have a buddy that owns 2 Big O stores in own one in scottsdale and one in Phoenix give him a call tell him Preston refered you and to hook you up. I got Fulda 255/50/16 (ZR I Think).
Personally I think the Kuhmo's suck but thats my opinion.

I have been doing business with him for over 7 years and if he doesn't remember my name say the guy with 5 Trans Am's sent ya.

His cell number is 602-390-0911



Sorry his name is Adam
