Tire noise not a problem. Need a economical tire as I am still in college. Once I graduate in December, I can get a more expensive tires (and maybe a car ) :-)

I am newbie when it comes to cars but I try to read the Haynes manual as much as I can. Also, I have completely read the Tires info section on tires.com and howstuffworks.com

Car use: 24 miles/ wkday on highway

Thanks so much gurus!

Misc: My first car. Might keep it for 6 more months. Might go on a road trip with it (but I will probably rent)

Has anyone even heard of these companies?

i dont no that much about thee tires but i have heard about Kumho

The Kumho is a very good basic all-season. Pretty good ride quality and traction for the money. In that size, I'd also look at the Kumho Ecsta HP4 716. We have them in stock for $42.00 each. Better ride quality, a lot better handling and wet traction. By the way, we have the Powerstar in stock at $35.00 each. Check them all out here on our website:
