Default FREE: Used Kumho 711s - 195/50/15

Not much tread left, but certainly enough to get through the summer. They have served me well.

If you're on a really tight budget you can't go wrong, but I won't be buying them again as I now have a dedicated set of track wheels/tires and a set of street wheels with all-seasons.

The wet grip was crap, and the dry grip was also pretty bad. Basically Kumho took an all-season tire and gave it an agressive pattern - they are hard like an all-season (accounts for the poor dry grip) but have the tread of a performance tire (accounts for the poor wet grip).

My "driving style" consisted of numerous autocrosses and four days on track. I also got approximately 13000 miles on them.

I have a really loud exhaust so I can't tell ya if they were quiet or not, sorry.
