Tire Rack has the Kumho Euro-Metric in 165-15 for 29 bucks a pop. The
Dunlops are 42 bucks. I refuse on principle to buy the Firestone, which are
the only other tires they have in this size.
I have Kumho touring tires on my Saturn, and they are OK. Kumho has also
one of the better sticky autocross tires, and arguably the best actually
streetable autocross tires (Hoosier tires are really too fragile for the
street).
