I know that rim1.com has 205-40-ZR17's for $80 each, and then tires. com has them for $88 each, so check those out, that's all that I know about. Hope this helps. Laterz

a good place online is www.tires.com their prices are the same as discount tires but online they done have a big selection, as if u went to the store, its best to go to the store cause they can cut u some slack and give u alot of info about the tires u are looking for.

why u want the Kumho's? (Doesn't that sound like a porno?)

I need new tire and want to get Falken's again. I love the AA traction rating. Someone have the pro's and cons for both these brands?

Ive been doing a lot of research and found that for the money the kumhos cant be beat. Very, very low road noise decent treadware and good wet and dry traction. The only complaints ive herad about these tires is people who put them on high performance cars such as the ws6, or camaro ss say that sometimes they have trouble hooking off the line. With my cars horsepower i dont think i'll need to worry about that anytime soon!!

Kumho Supra 712 tires - i just ordered a set for my new rims and then realized they are not all-season. How bad is it driving in snow / ice in non-all-season tires? Its a real pain in the [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] to have to keep changing tires out every season - plus I got nowhere to store my old stock tires so I'll probably sell them. HOW BAD IS IT TO RUN SUMMER TIRES IN THE WINTER? I live close to NYC.

i've had kumhos and falken and prefer falken..grippier and all season and seemed to last longer. i think they're very similar in price..i have the falken ziex. got them from wheelmax.com, but not sure if they sell just tires, i got a wheel tire combo. the kumhos do produce less road noise, but not much. not a knock on kumho, good tires, but i'll take all season wear and traction any day. in short...six to one, half a dozen the other

My 205 40 711's have AA Traction wear and they last longer than the 712's. Unless your going to be going 170mph or 80mph around corners pay less and get more life by getting the 711's. I stopped by my local Discount tire and they had them for $70 plus $9 to warranty them

I got mine from Whalen Tire they arrived quickly and were the lowest price I could find. And I have had great luck with the 711's. They seem to wear forever and handle really well.
