Replacement tires

I have a 2k2 SE 6spd with 32k on my OME Potenzas. I went on TireRack and people there give rave reviews for the Kumho tires that fit my stock rims. Can anybody confirm their reviews? I am looking for a good all-season performance tire preferably with a somewhat harder compound than the Potenza's DOT rating of 160. The Kumhos DOT wear code is 260 and they are half the price of the Bridgestones. What do you guys think?

Did you read the reviews from the Maxima owners? This would get better results if posted in the wheels and tires forum.

400's have to be the Pilot Sport AS. To me they seem to wear fast for a tire with a 400.

The original Craptenza's were rated at 160 and lasted 45-50Kkm and it seems that I am not going to get much more out of the Bibis.

each manufacturer has their own threadwear chart. so cant compare one manufacturer from the other. I personally have Bridgestone RE040 and i love them. I drive 80mph in hte rain with no problem at all.
