depends on your local shops, i my shop got me some kumho's well under prices a normal tire shop would of charged. i did have Falken's and the grip was there, still learning on the new set.

yeah you can, but some give better prices than others. cuz i know what you mean, cheap but good tires, i run my hard alot.
like i said i had Falken's before that were fun, but those are avg. $100 a tire i think. And the Kumho's escta ast i just got ran me cheaper from my shop, and they were rated better than my old Falken's...

Swift, the shop is in the San Diego area. And the update to how they feel, grip is way better that i can recall. The car hugs the road better, and the response is quicker. And my personal fav, way less spin off the line now

I actually have the same set of tires you mentioned Kunho's escta. From what I remember I paid way more than the price you got them for. It's about time mine need to be replaced. How much all in all did the 4 set cost you?

All depends on how good of a tire you want. You could easily spend $1000 and get an amazing set of tires, or $400 and get some round ones that hold air...
In general, the more money you spend, the better tire you are buying, keeping in mind what you are looking for in terms of dry, wet and all-season traction...

Um, if you found the exact same set of tires for $400 that another place wanted $800 for, it wasn't because you got hooked up that good, its just that one place was trying to screw you...
Even at Tire Rack, I see a couple different Kumho's in our stock size for less than $100 each..

i never said i got hooked up on the tires. i'm sorry i worded that last reply wrong, the better tires aren't always the expensive ones.
you do the research and get better tires for 400 then tires at 800
