you are better off with the kumho spt.. you live in cali where there is hardly ever any snow.. the kumho spt is going to giver you better dry handling and good rain traction.. the hankook is not going to give you good dry handling but will give you better wet handling.. and the kumho spt is 72.00 a tire at the tire rack.... if you want an all season tire then get the kumho asx at tires.com for 70.00 a tire at tires.com ( free shipping )...

I disagree. The SPT will give you better wet handling than the H405, too.

In California, you don't need all-season tires (unless you regularly go to the ski areas in the higher elevations).

hell yeah, here in cali we experience no snow so thats out of the questions. like i stated just straight driving untill my parts collection is completed which wont be till another 7+ months. since i drive on the freeway constantly how about noise volume would the SPT create less or more than toyos / falkens / yokohamas??
