If you’re on a tight budget Kuhmo Ecsta Supras are a great deal (I have them on the front of my car and like 'em a lot for the $). If you have a bit more $ the new MXs are awesome. Lots of other brands are nice too, but at a given pricepoint Kuhmo is hard to beat. -TJ ---

> _Originally posted by HaNnIBaL64_ > **they do good on water? i tend to hydroplane a lot** like blkmax said…they do handle great…and they have decent pricing. of course they are not going to be as good in the water as an all-season(high performance)…but they hold their own you still need to watch out for big/deep puddles, but pretty much anything that will cause you a problem you should be slowing down for anyway. here is a pic of them on my wifes ride ---

I have had G-Force KDW on my svt…best tire i’ve ever had very strond sidewall, but they are pricy…I have both 17’s and 16’s and there were around $130-$170 each depending on size…ouch the G-Force KD are even nicer, but worse in the rain…and mad pricy!! the G-Force KDWS are high performance all season…nice but less agressive. ---
