I'm guessing the Kumhos are made in Korea.

tires

Running Falken 542s, stock sizes, which were on the car when I bought it. Sidewalls are decently stiff, and grip is good for at least mildy spirited driving. Seem to be louder than many of the performance tires I've had. Will prob try the Toyo's when the time come.

Have had the Ultra performance Kuhmos on a couple of C5s. Side walls not as stiff as the Falkens or other "high-end" performance tires. Good looking tread pattern. Wet grip was abysmal. Tires became significantly louder with age.

Did you mean FK-452? I don't see 542.

Dublinoh,
Yes, Falken FK 452 is correct.
