yea make sure u get some nice tires. my 19's on my other car are on toyo fz4 and were so sick, felt like glue, handled like a champion on stock suspension.

if looks are all ur going for, then get the kuhmo's. me personally, id never get that brand of tire

I have an extreme hatred of kumho... they have found a niche though -- satisfying those who will put garbage on their car, if the price is low enough.

I like toyo... I've heard bad things about the Fz4 though! Good things about the Proxes 4 (although soft/fast wearing) and amazing things about the T1S (the tire I'll be getting I think)

only thing when u get into toyos are the wearing issue. only bad thing ive heard/experienced with the fz4's was the wear. ts1's are basically the best toyo. i liked the proxes 4 alot better tho.

The T1S look incredible, and have gotten stellar reviews... the tread pattern is similar to the Eagle GSD3's or whatever they're called... the T1S has good wear, good noise, and good performance... its a great all around performer. You can get a tire that wears better, or performs better... but it has found a nice middle ground.

yea i know but the thing is the only way to afford the 19's is if i take the free ones so i wanted to see if they were go, which they are not, so now i know its better to get the 18's w/ toyo's

Well, there are plenty of other good brands... I just think bang for the buck, toyo is a winner.
Some people will defend kumho... I dont know why though... I guess they are cheap, and they do estabish some contact with the road, and allow you to drive the car... but they have nothing on any other brand.
