Default kumo tires

I have a 98 coupe that Ive owned for about a year and its coming up on time to replace tires. Ive been reasearching kumos but my question to the forum is weather I should stay runflats or not?

Kumhos are at the bottom of the barrel. Save your money and get the best!

You dont need to spend the extra money for more expensive tires. I have Kumho ASX tires on my car and love them and they were half the price.

Kumos are okay: I had a bargain set on an Audi and they were pretty good. Dunlaps cost about the same and are a bit better all around, I think. You will get different opinions from different folks. I like BFGoodrich G-Force best myself, and Pirellis the least. But the biggest change is from runflats to anything else: it will be a marked difference. Of course you now have to deal with the prospect of a flat tire, but . .
