Kumho 771

tire? I had inquired locally about these

they would be $38 each, mounted and

balanced of course. (or shipped) Now,

Internet search, and my local dealer says

for a decent tire. Anybody have good luck

Those are what I got a few months ago from Pep Boys. They seem nice enough. They used a slightly different name though - EuroMetric 771s?

I have Kumho 795 touring tires on my 73 std. Beetle. I absolutely love 'em! Quietest tires I have ever driven on, and they provide a VERY smooth ride and decent handling. They actually ride quieter and smoother than the old 165s. I have 205 and 185 tires rear and front, respectively. I would actually advise you to stay away from these tires *IF* you're going to put them on a heavy car...they will respond too slowly due to the very pliable tread blocks. But I payed $36 a piece for them from tire rack. Total including shipping for four tires was about $190, and I'm a far ship from their warehouses. I don't know any specifics about the 771 tire, but I do know that Kuhmo makes well on their promises of cheap tires that perform.

The 712 is a better tire .

The 712 doesn't come in 165R15. Otherwise it would be a good choice. I put

712's on the Acura Integra that my son is driving and yes it has been a decent tire. Which is why I was considering the 771. The rest of their tires have had mostly good reviews.
