Kumho are a good value for what you get. Just don't go crazy and start drifting, skidding, peeling out every time you start the car, and goin 150+.

Otherwise, it's a relatively well-designed all-year rounder.

cool. I go pretty easy most of the time. In fact, just about all the time. I just don't want to spend a ton on tires. Question: if I get these puppies in the mail, where do I take them to get fitted to my (crappy ) rims... nad how much do think that would cost.

thanks : Watch any profanity please [:@]

Get a friend or go to the local auto body/ car shop.

Probably around the avenue of 120+. $80/hour here in MD...dunno about you.

Any good Tire and alignment store will mount and balance them for you...After all Money is Money to any store and this will be all for money $$$$ about $10.50 each wheel I would expect!

That cheap?

I remember back in NY, the labor fee was around $65/hour for various assortments...

Yeah, when I got my new tires a couple weeks ago it was $12.50 for each w/ the valve stem installation, mounting, and balancing.

I went to tirerack and they have a directory where you can find a local tire place that will install the tire. It also rates, at least, it allow s you to rate the store. Very good resource. I'm going to get the Tires from Tire Rack. UPS is gonna get pissed. I keep ordering stuff to my work. heheheh. I just got my AEM SRI yesterday in a big *** box. I can't imagine the size of a tire box. 4 tires at that.
