I bought a set of kumhos from tire rack to install on my 85 300D, have
not done it yet. Everyone here says they are great.

yea, sears is another one that has different spec tires than a dealer,

I've liked Kumho tires for some time. Went to Sears to replace a set on
my wifes Passat and guess what- the tire that is dressed to look/sound like
their current 60k mile tire is actually only the new tread pattern onto an
old carcass, is good for only 40k miles and (drum roll please) is made
especially for Sears in China. Same price- no thanks. Didn't see the
Sears name on it though.
Now, all of my Kumhos (20 so far) as well as the 2 just bought from Tire
Rack instead of Sears have been made in Korea. Makes a difference to me.
If only I could mount the things myself. Local shop "forgot" that I wanted
to torque the rims myself; caught after the first tire was done. Somehow an
80# torque stick managed to apply at least 140# of torque. Neither the tech
or writer appeared to know what a torque wrench was.
