I agree completely. The 295/35/18 Kumhos go for $216/each, so thats $432 for the rears. The front tires are smaller, so I dont see how they can add up to $468 for the $900 total. I guess he didnt shop around a lot and it cost him.Mustang5L5 said:If he paid $1600 for that setup new then he got screwed...why should he try to make it up by screwing you?
I say $800 tops!
Kumhos arent that great either. I have ALL-SEASON Sumitomos and can pull 2.0 60's with them, so Im pretty sure I can pull the same or better with Summer tires.04DarkShadowGT said:One thing to think about, Sumitomo tires are not that great, I have them on my car now. I would rather have the Kumhos.

Both brands are a cheaper alternative to the more expensive, better performing brands like Goodyear, BFG, etc. Besides, the damn things are used. Tires lose their value quick. Just bc he didnt shop around and paid $900 for them, doesnt mean Im gonna make up for it by over-paying on used tires that wont last through the end of the year.
I know what you were getting at, but I still dont think Kumhos are much better than Sumis. Both are a cheaper alternative to better brands. Either way, the Kumhos are used so its a moot point. If they were new, then yeah I could see debating Kumhos vs. Sumis, but they're not.04DarkShadowGT said:I never said that you should over pay or even to get them. I just said that Kumhos are better tires than Sumitomos. I have the 315 sumitomos and they are ok, but dont grip much better than the stock 245 goodyears.

Either way, if he doesnt sell me the rims/tires and I end up buying everything new, I wont be getting Sumis. Im just using that to show him I CAN get everything brand new for a little more than what he wants for his used stuff. Just a means of negotioating to get a good deal. If I get new rims I'll save up for some DSG-3s or BFG KDW2s.
