do u recommand Kumho Ecsta 711 they are the cheapest. because soon gone get rimmed up.
goodyear has a new line out called fierce.
they seem to be pretty cheap. they are made in the us and by goodyear. so they oughtta be pretty decent tires.
i looked on ebay(cause they aren't available through retailers until june)
i think it was 238 bucks for 4 225/40/18's
thats still a solid buy for that profile.
think the treadwear was
380
traction A
treadwear A
idk i might check them out when my Nitto's expire.
ya i cheaked i think it was $331 w/ shipping. pretty cheap i wonder if the quality is good? goodyear they seems to be good.
"These are Fierce HP tires which is a private brand that is made by Good YearThese tires are guaranteed BRAND NEW and blemish-free"
The worst tire I ever owned was Khumo tires. They would always bubble on the sidewall and the tread went fast.
Best tire I ever owned was Yokohama Parada Spec2. I am currently on Toyo Proxes 4, not a bad tire either but grip in the turns is not as good as the Yokos.
Wanli tires are made from recycled tires and they bubble to easily too like Kumho tires. Go with FALKEN ZEIX-512 they are the best all around tire I have experienced. The price is not to high either, its a good buy. For your camber isuues probably also check into Nitto Gen Tires.

Thank you! Someone agrees with me.
I wish I could find my memory stick that shows how bad Kuhmos bubble. I hit one small pothole and my drivers side front tire had 5 bubbles the size of baseballs on it. It happened @ 3am and I had to take the chance and drive all the way back to NC from MA with those huge bubbles.

Like I said above: My Kuhmo 711's wear down pretty quick. They don't keep their tread long.
The rule of thumb with tires is that you get what you pay for. Unfortunately (for the uneducated), Falken have broken the barriers and started to produce high quality tires for a low price, opening the window for other crap manufacturers to push out low priced high performance tires...
i went to just tires today they told me $515.16 sumitomo h and r z II out the door. but i dont no how that brand goes.

We've had the Fierce lineup for months. Great tires for the money.

That has absolutely nothing to do with tire brand. It happens to ALL manufacturers. I never had problems with the EIGHT Kumho Ecsta 711s that I had.
That pothole obviously wasn't large enough to cause damage to a tire.
Personally I would recommend brands that make their low profile tires with a extra load capability (Like Toyo does). Those are going to be the best at preventing damage from being underloaded.
Well my tire didnt make it home from the trip, I had to stop and get a tire installed, its called Mohawk Predator VRS, the guy said Mohawk is made by Yokohama... looks decent, less sidewall protection on my rims but decent.. rides quieter than my Toyos
When my Toyos wear down I will most likely go with the less expensive Nittos. Pretty much a side by side comparison with the Toyos as far as ratings and tread go, but lots cheaper. Kumho is a respectable brand in my eyes, but don't expect to get the type of performance out of them like you would Yoko's or Toyos.

Yeah, that's overpriced IMO, I would have gone to www.vulcantire.com and had them shipped to you and installed at a walmart or local garage.
They have Yokohamas and Falkens too https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif
