well, I searched tire rack, and this is what I've found.
Top 2 tires
I'm more or less leaning towards the Kumho rather than the Avon tire because it's snow traction, i can run up to 44psi, it's larger in diameter and it's tread depth and pattern. If it was just a car I was buying for, the Avon would win without a doubt.
Prices are good for me for these tires. And I'm not exactly going by brand here. to me, a tire is a tire, I'm running cheapo uniroyal tires right now, and so far not one has gone yet, I can tell cause the spare tire's never been used either. And I drive on those potholes everyday. So don't convince me that those aren't good tires and for an A/T I should go better than that. I know kumho is more of a racy tire company, but right now, I don't care as much.
That's just what Ive found at tire rack. I'll be doing some more searching later. gotta hit the sack *yawn*
