Gotcha!

Never had either but I trust the brand Hankook slightly better than Kumho, but I would never have either on my car.

Get some Falkens!

Both the Hankooks and the Kumhos are good tires. The Hankook has a bit softer compound but they are pretty similar. Between the two I would go for whichever I can get for cheaper. However personally I run Falken 452s and I'm very happy with them.

Way to state the obvious... Lol jk.

Falken 452s are the shit. I've had 3 sets, and love them.

What about Ling Longs? They performed the same in the dry as the Pilot PS2's in the wet.
