Tires!!! Help!

I itching to put on my rims but need new tires. But don't know what's good and at a reasonable price.

How are Kumho 711's? Anyone use there or have any comments.

Please help.

Thanks!!

Im running on 712s. Great tires, pretty sticky once they are warmed up.

i rode around on kumho 711s and would buy them again anyday... i'd say pretty decent wet performance, pretty crappy snow performance, but they are awesome under rregular conditions... ohhh... i used to have 205s on my ek hatch and they grip like no other on the road....

711 is crap combared to other options you can get in same price range. Falken Zeix 512 is an all-season tire as well. If you don't need all-season then Kumho 712 or SPT

all-season are trash in the winter anyways, but 711 is a budget tire and no more. Kumho 712 would kill it.
