Default Anybody know anything about these new Kumhos?

Just wondering because they are a new option for 315's and they arent ungodly expensive like the goodyears or dunlops. I think they look cool too. So if anyone has any experience, good or bad, let us know.

Kinda looks like a knock-off of the INVO.

The new Kumho XS is designed for max summer performance. A lot of guys who auto-x have been asking about these. I haven't heard any feedback yet from anyone so if someone has these please post up. We can special order these also if your interested. Current price is $238 delivered.

And your experience in Solo2 type tires is?

DTD - I was doing a bunch of research on these today and only found 2 posts from people running them on something heavy. Both posters were pleased, and compared them to the RT-615's and likely better than the R1R for heavier vehicles.

I plan on running them on my T/A this year, which is not a D/D, but will be driven to autoX events on these tires. I can't justify R-compound tires this year.
