thats what i run on my sohc b6 turbo car but in a 175 70 13 & they are around 300.00 a set so thats a good deal. you should get 30-40k out of them in normal driving.
Haven't mounted them yet, but I picked the exact same set up a few weeks ago.
In December I got a set of Kumho Powerstars in 155/12 for carby car and they've been absolutely great. They've seen about 6000 miles and show minimal wear. They ride great as far as 12s go. I just hope this is a sign for good things to come with the 13s.

Good snag! I have no experience with Kumhos (except for the used ones that were on one of my Aspire swaps) but at least they are a 'known' commodity and not a discount chain specialty.
PowerStars are about $65-70 a tire at Discount Tire around here. I had a set and they lasted not quite a year and a half and only 33,000 miles before they were BALD.
I was looking at the Solus for a 13 or 14" upgrade. They are warrantied to 85,000 miles if I remember correctly. And not super expensive.
The only tires I ever remember getting over 30,000 miles on was the Yokohama's that come from the factory on mine. Another set of Yokohama's gave similar mileage.
