lol.... No. There are so many different varriations among brands for treadwear, handeling, and wet traction... And more money doestn' always = a better tire. I have Toyo Proxes 4's and they are awesome! Way better than the stock tires and they've lasted a lot longer too!

I would have to say the best performing tire for the money would have to be Kumho MX. If you are on stock wheels I would recommend 225/45-17.

I don't think the kumho tread pattern looks that great imo.... I'm assuming you have these on your car KCTTC if you're giving an opinion on them, so let me ask ya. How many miles do you have on them?

I have a little over 1000 miles on this set. I had a set on my 2000 Civic Si. I work for a performance shop so I am always trying new tires. My opinion is not just based on two to three different tires but many different tires. This is the fourth set of tires I have had on my TC and I just turned 10,000 miles.

Thanks,

Jeremy

dang man... 4th set. lol, the streets by your house must all be black, if they aren't already. Anyways.... I'd say I drive pretty stinkin hard on my Toyos and they've lasted 17,000 miles and they still look good, with a fair amount of tread. What size rim did you have on your 2000 civic when you had the Kumhos on there? And any suspension mods as well.... And finally, what are the other tires you've had experience with, and your opinions on each. Just trying to be as scientific and objective as possible.
