If you're on a budget, I have ventus tires by hankook, and they aren't the greatest tires but they wear a hell of a lot better than kuhmos and they are only $77. Worth a look if $$$ is an issue.

i had the falken ziex they are really nice, daily and auto x use. the azenis were better on the auto x and i think the same in the weather, but i never took it in snow. rain was the only thing i had a chance to test it in, but i don't drive like a dumbass in bad weather if i had good or bad tires. any tire is good if you drive safely. good luck

ive had the azenis and kumho s ...the kumho s were great in the rain and smooth services..but on the freeway construction zones they seem d to have a mind of their own..the azenis s are a better all round tire but a little bit more noisey..ive got the azenis ST115 d now

the ST115 s have a different more aggressive tread design for all weather use and made of a harder rubber compound for longer wear..the tread design is more like the nitto 555 s

hey guy, thanks alot for all the replies. no one has really said anything about the nittos? as for bang for the buck, i was checking tires.com, and the khumos are like..74 bucks or something. i dunno if that place has a bad reputation or something, and thats why you guys dont shop there, but if any of you have the time check it out, cause the prices are good. thanks again. more comments are welcome.
