Yokohama or Kumho

[S.F.W.]

Hey everybody some more tire questions..
I am looking for a tire in the stock 205/50/17 size. I originally wanted the Kumho ASX but can\'t find this tire anywhere. Now I am looking at the Kumho 712 or the Yokohama ES100. What does everyone think of these tires. I am trying to keep the cost to approximately $700, and am open to other suggestions.

Thanks

For the ASX, did you look with tire23. They can have them for a good price.

checked with them, warehouse is back ordered and nobody has the tire in stock, or available in short turn around...

Thats bad :( . I looked for the 712 when I did the search for new tire, But the ASX are better (at least thats what I\'ve been told). So I decide to go for the ASX. Didnt check the yoko you mentioned. I\'m waiting till this winter before changing mine, hopefully I will be able to have them.

the parada spec 2 is only about 60bux more than what u wanna spend

i just looked those up, but they don\'t come in the 205/50/17.

I\'d go for the ES100 since it beats the 712 in most of the areas, according to customers\' review on Tirerack (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=UHP).

Too bad Tires23 can\'t get the ASX anymore...

I agree with chaser, go with the ES100 for your second choice.

I went to tire23 yesterday to order wheels and tires also, but only my 3 there:D

I ordered ES-100 also, I didn\'t get quote parada spec 2 from them, but I think it\'s quite expensive.
