Default Anyone use Kumho MXs

I'm getting some tires for my motorsports ZO6 rims and i'm thinking of
285 40 17s (they're 17 x 9.5) to give me more traction than my current set up of 255 40 18s, has anybody used these Kumho MXs they are quite reasonably priced for the size I want, my only concern is the treadwear rating of 220.

thanks

pat

I really like my Kumho MX's I think they are a super looking tire

I have 285/40/17s in back, 275/40/17 in front. They look good with Z06 wheels also

Nice tire for the price, although I would not buy again, rather heavy, and a bit noisey on the road.

They're not as good as the Firehawks I had before them in terms of wear, but they handle reasonably similar, and considering their pricing, I'd say they're a worthy consideration.
