check for affiliates.. there are more than one that can get tires.... just curious.. why kumho? unless you're gonna get the MX ... I'm guessing you're not willing to spend $200+ per tire?

Kumho's are ok, I'm not saying they're bad, I had a set of 712's a while back... and I had no complaints.. just sayin' your tires are the only things that touch the surface of the road, and are prolly the single most important factor for handling.. so if I were you I'd get some sick *** tires.. but that's just me..

lol... like having a fur jacket but walking on sandals...

very true though, tires should not be cheated on...
but since the season has started many places are offering reduced rates on tires...

Exactly...don't be a cheap *** and wrap Volks in mediocre tires.
