Cooper's or Kumho's

[mntalon_05]

I work at a gas station/service station and I can get tires at dealer cost. On my last car I got a set of kumho's for $200 that were pretty sticky, which was pointless for a plymouth breeze, haha. Since they deal in kumho's and coopers, I'm wondering what would be the best all around tire from either of those company's. I'm looking for something with good wet and dry traction that won't be afraid of a little winter weather for my stock 16" rims, but I do have a beater car if it's too bad.

personally id say the tires are a horse a piece, depending on rating and all. on a 16" id assume ud use a 215/55/16 or a 225/50/16? as far as cost on those, i dont know what ud pay with your discount or what the diference in cost is on those 16's but they both perform pretty well, i run 18" kumho's on my talon and 18" cooper zeon's on my clipse, both perform nice but the cooper seem to show a bit more wear, the coopers were quite a bit less in price then the kumhos though. i guess as far as wear/cost ratio...... ..... there about even, more milage out of the more expensive ones, if you can get a sweet deal on the kumho's id say go for it, but if ur gonna save a hundred bucks go for the coopers
oh..... and if by chance you are running the 215/55/16 might wanna think about going to the 225/50's ud be surprised the extra grip ya get, i run 225/50's goodyear eagles on my 93 talon (take offs from my tsi) as well as on my 97 .... anyway, good luck deciding

dark..... sorry, spent one too many days playing cribbage with my grandma back in the day, i learned too many old expressions there about even, one costs more but you get more wear, the other cost less but wear faster

My favorite regionalism is that part of the Ohio-valley dialect where you drop "to be" from sentences that are using a modified gerund, as in "car needs washed" (instead of "car needs to be washed" or "car needs washing"). Too bad that people didn't check the location part of your signature being getting on your case.
