I reluctantly bought a set of Kuhmo's to replace my discontinued bfg comp ta zr's. Awesome tire. Not as good as the bfg (imho) but I was impressed. $80 a pop sweetened the deal!

Yeah--Kumho's are excellent, big in SOLO II, too, and some places are offering a set of 4 mounted and balanced for $300.

Kuhmo's are sweet, I got them for $86 each put on my wheels and they have survived countless brake stands and 1000's of miles, when my car was streetable.

I just put pep boys (futura super sport) tires on my camaro and they arent bad at all. But I did have a set of BF Goodrich radial T/A's on my firebird, that I found a strong liking for
