I replaced my factory good year integrity tires on my 2001 rx300 with general grabber tires. I am very happy with them and they are rated number 1 on tirerack.com for quality.

I got 55K+ from Michelin X radial LT bought at Costco 5 years ago. Just replaced the fronts, still collecting miles on the rears. Should have rotated them sooner would have got more from the set. I will probably get 60K from the remaining 2.

I have the kumho KR21 and I like them alot. The only downside is that they can develop inside edge cupping on the rear if not rotated often enough. Great tire for the money

Finally .. I got the Kumho Solus KR21 from OK tires (Weston), having driven for a week I'm really impressed with these tires. The price was excellent for the quality and warranty. I am anxious to drive these tires on the snow, to see how they perform. The ride is great over bumps and non smooth roads compared to OEM Bridgestone Duelers .. I guess not a fair comparion .. new set of tires to old ones. The noise level in these Kumhos are low .. no vibrations. Really happy with them, the reason why I did not go for Yokohama's was because I was at the tire shop to see and feels tires and they felt great and the price was better than Yokohamas. I am sure I would have been very happy with Yohohamas too but my wallet is a little happier with Kuhmos.
