My wife's car is on the second set of these tires, different size, but same tire. My son also has the same tires as my wife on his car. They are great tires, have good life, and the ride quality is a whole lot better than the Michelin's that came on the wife's car. I can't say anything negative about them.

The country of origin on those tires is China or Korea.

I went with the Dunlop Signature 205/60-16. Also good specs and price. Made in USA. Looking forward to the ride of this one and more mileage than the 195 Dunlop.

I think you made a wise decision.

I just don't like any tire produced in China or Korea. Their technology just isn't what it should be.

A lot of people really like those Kumo tires, my neighbour is just putting a set on his Corvette, and they are almost $700.00 cheaper than the Goodyears.

Like I said earlier, "I can't say anything negative about them". They have been great, and last longer than the Michelin's.

Yeah I was digging their specs, but in the end the Dunlop matched up nice too and was made in the good ole USA. I will probably try and get it mounted in a week or two.
