I've had Dunlop tires in the past and was well satisfied. I've no experience with Kumho, but have heard good things about them.
Here is a pair that will go good for your '85. And cheap for the outstanding performance you get with these.

[QUOTE=Adams' Apple] I've also heard (& read) pretty good things about the Kumhos, but the name kinda sounds like a pimp hollerin' at his girls!

Anybody remember "Velvet Jones" from the old school Saturday Night Live??? An old Eddie Murphy character.

[QUOTE=Adams' Apple]I'm going with the Falken ZE 512 tires.(thnx Iron82) I checked out the Falken web site and decided the Falken things would be OK. Called Discount Tire, and they said they would have to get the Falken tires out of their Falken Phoenix warehouse, but could have them next week, and the price on the Falken things is $540, tt&l. I'll let you know how the Falken set-up works out.

I have Falken truck tyres on my 4X4 Chevy and they are awesome on and off road.
When I bought my corvette, they had Falken's on them. I was werry on them while driving from Florida(rained all the way through the state). Never heard of them so I test drove them hard. I was very impressed and they held up to there expectations.
You will feel the performance of those tyres you got. To me they are way better then the others.
Enjoy!

I ordered the Falken ZE-512 tars, and then the guy calls today and informs me that they DON"T have the Falken things anywhere in the country.
