Mike,

I have since sold this car, but I had two years on the Kuhmo’s and they were great. They handled great, and the noise was good, and I had no major problems in the snow.
Though my new Honda Pilot is a beast in the snow. Best tires I have owned, IMO.

Hope that helps.

How did you like the Kumhos? Any good on snow? Noise and handling? Thanks.

I did the same thing and forgot to rotate mine, blew a new set of Kuhmos. I always thought Costco did a solid job of keeping the prices pretty low. Maybe not always now…

If you are buying tires in a factory size another great place to check is craigslist and other online used parts sites.. A lot of times people will buy a brand new car and immediately take the factory wheels off in favor of bigger, higher performance wheels/tires. Many times these tires still have the little rubber things still on them.

You can really save some money on the initial purchase of your new tires by shopping over the Internet. Some retailers, like the one you mentioned above even have relationships with local independent tire centers that will accept shipment of your new tires and perform installation at a pre-negotiated rate.

Don’t forget that your new tires will need to be mounted to the rims, balanced and installed on your vehicle. You’ll probably want to get your wheels aligned when you get your new tires installed, as well.
