stockies are usually potenzas or yokos

but lately they've been adding on turanzas to the line of stock tires as well...

ehh... they're not all the same.

Which Kumho tire did you receive?
I have an 07 from August and it has Turanza EL400-02.

Have been reading about tyres a lot on these forums and from what I have concluded the yokos are the best what stock tyres can give you and they last long .. ofcourse I would love to get the pzeros but maybe after next tyre change ...

hey akshay_d- I had the pzero's before, and trust me, they were nothing but one defective one after another. out-of-round, vibrations, constant re-balancing. finally had enough of it and the tire shop bought them back. Went with the Toyo Proxes4, not another probelm. So yeah after like 8 tires in a row of Pzero's, just had to warn ya. Hilariously bad quality.
