Sometimes it's not as bad, but other timez i just want to bust my ear drums and turn up the radio!!!!! LOL!!! Funny thing when i had 18's on my lowered Mazda 929 it was the smoothest ridin thing !!!! And we hacked the springs!!! KUMHO'S Suck!!!! I'll rant bout dat!!! I love Falkens!!!!
    Ok .. you made a bad comparison.. Your 929 is a Luxury car, so I am pretty sure the ride will be different from that of your protege. The chassis of the 929 is more than likely stiffer and there would also be more sound deadening in the car so the actually shock of you hitting bumps would not be fealt as harsh as in our Protege's. So you can't blame the tire.. try blaming the driver for hitting all the dang bumps in the road, lol.

    Asylum. You will appreciate those khumo's when you push your car to the limit. --or near it-- That's when you will love them.
    I used to push mine through the twisties in Bear Mountain hills, and I loved them.

                  As cheap as they are my Nankangs are incredible. For a set of tires that you can get for under $400 in 18s they are absoultey awesome. They handle great and so far have shown very little tire wear.
