The Kumho tires are probably at least as good as the Remingtons and maybe
the Dunlops, too, for 28 bucks. They seem to stick OK, did not chunk to
pieces at an autocross on asphalt, don't make ugly noises and balanced OK.
I can't tell you if they are stickier than the Dunlops, but they seem to be
good tires.
I am happy with the Kumho 60-series tires on my Saturn, and the autocrossers
like their sticky tires. I know that is not a direct reflection on their
165-15 tires, but it did give me some confidence in ordering them.
The only reason I why I would buy the Dunlops is for the name on the
sidewall (not that there is anything wrong with buying them for that
reason). For all I know, Dunlop 165-15 tires could be made in Asia as well.
