Which Tire, Kumho Ecsta or Dunlop 9000?

ok, im eventually getting 20's very soon, and im between 2 tires, the Dunlop SP9000, and the Kumbo Ecsta Supra 712.

Now Tire rack rates both tires very close in ratings allthough dunlop has like .1 or .2 pts better in wet/hydro resistant traction, while kumho has a .1 or .2 pts better in cornering, ride comfort, and thread life.... and they are both tied for dry traction...

Both tires kill the F1's on all ratings.

i really think the rating system is very accurate, every tire i use and have bought from there, i look up and they are dead on right about the ratings, same as i would give.

now the dunlops are like $950 a set and kumhos $850 a set....

now i like the kumhos, but the dunlops seem a bit better, but i dont know about $100 better......

what do you think?

I have the Kumhos in 295/40/20. Good all around tire for the money. No complaints.
