Read about them on Tire rack and they seem to be very well built. Customer reviews some liked and others not. What is their speed rating? I run BF Goodrich G-Force myself, they stick very well and are Z-rated for speeds over 148MPH. Click on the 2002 Monte icon under my name, will pull up some info on my Monte.

They are V rated which is good enough for me. I mean i used to do over 140 on H rated so V will be fine.

I like whatever has a good treadlife, traction, and speed ratings, and a good price

I have Dunlop SP Sport Signatures right now on my 18s. Can't wait to get those back on, it seemed like a waste to run winter wheels this year lol

I got away from Z rated tires fast, because (as good as they grip), the life just isn't there.

Yea that's why I started looking at the Kumho tired because they are still a good rating(V) and have a good tred life on them. There are like right in the middle.

I'm happy with the Michelin HydroEdge's I put on our Monte a few years ago. Great traction dry/wet, quiet, smooth ride. The last few years there has been a rebate on sets of 4 (~ $70).
