Tires for 5kcstq

[Lawrence C Leung]

For all season performance, I have heard absolutely excellent reviews (no
BTDT) of the Michelin Pilot XGT V-4, or Z-4s. BUT they are PRICY. I
considered the less expensive Pirelli P7000 SS (also all season) which is
supposed to be a better dry weather performer, but it also supposed be
noticably noisier. I ended up with summer Kumho 712's which are priced
more like Bridgestone RE71's (which I have on my GTi) and perform
similarly, but they seem like they will wear much longer than the
RE-71's. I do run snows in the winter.
