i have had 2 sets of kuhmo's on my 18's, i love them, they are quiet, stick incredible, and have incredible rain traction, only problem is that even though they are supposed to have a long tread life, they don't last long.

I suppose that depends on your driving habits. Look at their treadwear and then compare that treadwear to your current tires and then you will be able to figure it out.

well they are supposed to have real good tread rating but then again i am a kid soooo take that tread rating and divide it by 20. All in all they are the best tires for your money, go for it!

Kumho's All the way. I mean no one has better wet traction also. I was on the interstate going about 115mph on my Kumho's and they stuck like a ****, and it did not feel like it is floating or hydroplaning.

Very great Dry traction, as you probably already know.
