Default Kumhos in monsoon season

Well here we are right smack in the middle of monsoon season down here in Florida and I've been waiting to see how these Kumho Ecsta ASX's and I must say that I've owned a lot of Eagle F1's in my days but these Kumhos out perform F1's in the rain way better! The tires have two deep channels that really let the tires funnel the water out of the way. For as wide as they are, no hydroplaning!

I rode around in Kumho's in the winter on some crazy snowy roads and they were great!

i just looked at the tread on both and there is quite a bit of difference, The AST's trap the water in the center and do not leave much of a way to eject it from sides and which the ASX's do.
