    The kumhos are $390 ea. rrp the Dunlops $175.

    I don't think they are generally very good tyres - I've had them before.

    $390 for 225/45r17 KU39 - pull the other one it plays jingle bells. They are $145 each at my local tyre store.

    Michelin PS3 & BS Potenza S001 are $185 and worth the extra spend
