Tire Comparrison

Well one of my tires went flat this weekend and I found out it was a sidewall puncture so I am now in the market for 4 new tires since the treads were getting decently low anyway. The problem is that I am away at school and there aren't a lot of tire shops around with deals like I am used to at home.

I am trying to find a Firestone dealer since they are running a buy 3 get 1 free on their Affinity Touring tires, but so far I only see dealers that are 40 minutes away and I don't want my donut running on a 70mph highway that far.

I am looking for an all season tire that isn't overly expensive. Trying to keep it under $80 per tire. I have the standard 215-60R15 tires.

Right now I found 2 local shops that have either a BF Goodrich Pro 93T or a Kumho KH16. They are both priced about the same, but I know nothing about Kumho.

Which of those two would you recommend I get and for what reasons? Also if there is another tire that would be better then the 2 i mentioned, or if the Firestone's would be worth the deal if I can get out there, let me know and I will check around.

Thanks in advance.

Drive the 40 minutes and get the Affinity tires.
