Aight,

I'm either gonna go with the Kumho's 712 ($120cdn (installed)) or with some Woosung Nexen's ($100cdn installed)...

any last comments??

i agree i had kuhmos on my Si and they are the best bang for the buck tire you can get.

actually this was my next question, I wasn't sure which ones to get. I mean honestly they V is 149mph and Z is 149+, and figuring I'd never get my car to that speed, lol, doesn't really matter. However, would stickier tires make a big difference in the rain? I'm in vancouver, and it rains a ton. What would you recommend. I'm not a street racer or anything, but would like a good set of tires that will last a long time. The ones I have now have been good for 55,000km.

I'm getting 205/50-15.

i have the Z rated Khumos right now. (205/45/16) Mind you i bought them used with the wheels and they were quite worn out, so i can't comment on thier longevity, but i can say, even in thier weaked condition, they stick like hell.

The V rated will probably be perfect for what your looking for.

just wondering if the rating in tires is different between canada and the us?

I called a few stores, and I've been told it only comes in V and R rating? maybe I'm confused.. lol!

in anycase, I'll probably go with the V rating. I'm sure thats good enough.. better than the tires I have on right now.

I've gotten a cost of around $110cdn, which is pretty good, better than what I thought I'd be spending on tires with this type of tread.

I actually also just found out that they the store I called, well my dad knows the guy there! so hopefully I'll get it under $100 bones... =) can't wait! The rain's already started, and so is the hydroplannin'

GOT EM!

Got my kumho's today. Came to $500 installed (cdn).

Wow, these babes are NICE! They do require a tiny bit of warming up, but taking corners, without 0 sqeal is shweet! Now just gotta wait till it rains, and see how they work... thanks for all the info guys, I'm happy with em...

THESE BABIES STICK IN THE RAIN! Holy smokes, I can't believe how DIFFERENT these tires are compared to my last ones. I don't hydroplan, slipout or anything.

Thanks again guys for your recommendations, totally happy!
