Why not stick with General UHP's? They have low noise, good comfort, and is within your budget.

i was on tirerack, it seems the kumho's r slightly better on the noise and comfort aspect. and just a few dollars more from the generals. i guess im looking for a slight change to spice things up haha

mine are made in japan, and i don't notice any noise. even if there where, i don't think it's a big deal.

u werent kidding. i went with the same specs 225/35 n 245/34 for my 19x9 n 19x10 and they dont look stretched one bit. with my generals the stretch was way more noticeable.

to the point, the ride on these guys are great, loving the kumho's so far
