kumho are ok, they are korean made. but i hear korean rubber is not good as japan rubber. but they are descent tires. if you're going that route, compare it to the falken fk452, very quiet and are ultra high performance. good for wet/dry conditions. treadwear rated at 300. speed rated w, so go check out the fk452, thats what i plan to get on my yaris.

That's what I have on mine, no complaints, decent price, plenty of grip, handles tropical rainstorms quite well

And the tread pattern looks decently sporty, if that is of importance to you

i spent 8 years in asia, the philippines to be specific. i have tried alot of different tires over there before they were sold in the us. i did like the grb 451's. the fk452's are its replacement. i would recommend the azenis 615 but that basically a racing tire, low treadlife. super grip. since advan neova's are just too expensive im gonna stick with falkens.
