They blow goats.

Trust me. You don't want them. I bought a set while I was unemployed to save costs and regretted it every day.

Total garbage. Run away.

Since your spin-out video was pulled I can only make a wild guess as to what happened. But based on the topic, the last thing you need is a set of crappy tires.

Get some Potenza's, RE750's are not too expensive.

The Kumho's are good. I had a set and kept one. They're good for raising mosquitos in. That's about it.

Buy some Fuzions. Nice tire at about the same price as the Kumho's.

The khumo MX's are really good tires, the ecsta's are crap. ES100's are probably the way to go.

A friend of mine slapped on some Marshal MATRAC TX tires on his Nissan 300ZX Turbo. The tire is made by a Korean company... I know... It sounds bad... But they grip like no other tire I've driven on... Especially in the rain! (No pun intended)

You can't beat the price either.

Edit: I think Kumho makes the Marshal line of tires (?)

I think its the opposite - he needs the WORST set of tires to completely destroy his confidence and force him to drive like a normal person.

711's suck - get fuzions.
