I hate Kumho and Sumitomo.
Care to qualify those remarks?
I have the Kumho ASX on my Mustang, and they seem to work very well for the price. My positive experience with the ASX is what convinced me to give the HP4 a try on the Toyota.
On the other hand, I have had bad experiences with Goodyear. Does this mean Goodyear tires are junk? Probably not, but in the past, they did not seem to offer much bang for the buck when I have used them (poor performance and short life).
From everything I have seen, BFG Traction T/A tires would have definitely been a good choice, however, I opted to go with the lower cost Kumho based on positve reviews at tirerack.
Reviews aren't everything though... I bought the Falken ZE512, based on positive reviews, and I am less-than-happy with these tires, as they are noisy and seem to wear fast. I guess different cars "like" different tires.
Anyway, we'll see how the Kumhos do... I will be sure to post if I (or more correctly, my wife) do not like them, as I have no reason to defend the Korean manufacturer!
