If you don't get much response here, you can check tirerack.com Should be plenty of reviews on the Kumho's. Don't think they carry the Nitto's, but I liked the 555's I had on a previous car a lot.

Are you sure this is the right size? Do you mean 245/35/20?

Some other alternatives for inexpensive (I hate to use the word "cheap") are Falken FK452 or Vredestein Sessenta tires.

I have the SPT's on all four wheels right now, 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. I had the PS2's previously. The SPT's are ok, but I had to adjust to them. Its so easy to chirp them compared to the PS2's. Stopping isn't as nice, steering wheel responsiveness isn't as nice. I'd stick with the PS2's. I'm going back to them after these tires. I might even take these off and sell them to go back to PS2's. They do what they need to do, but relatively speaking, its no comparison, just like the difference in price you pay for them.

I've ran the NT555 and they weren't bad. Out of those 2, I would go with the Nitto. PM me if you need some help.

thanks for the replies.....and sorry about the typos, was at work and put up the thread quick.

But as much as id like to get the ps2's, they are around 250 a tire. compared to the 104 per tire for the nitto's, which im gonna go with after reading reviews on discounttire.
