REALLY?? I haven't heard that before... I did however hear that they don't perform well during extremely COLD weather. Hmmm... Well, I don't AutoX much.... I might take it to the track once or twice next year with the car club... and I don't do Major smokin burnouts, cuz I can't afford new tires every year... so...
Anyway, I'll let you all know.

Re: Got Kumhos? Come in.... Yeah how are those Kumho supras tires, I want to by chrome Z06 rims and on EBAY they always come with the Supras on.....So how are these tires, I live up in the northeast so I will be seeing rain and a little snow before I put it away for winter storage......
Also quick question but will 18X9.5's work on the front of the car without rubbing??? and how are the stock 16X8 and tires in the snow??? Maybe I will toss those on in November???

I hear they suck in the snow, but I live in California, so I don't care either way. The 18X9.5's with a 275 tire will fit just fine up front, even if you are lowered a bit.
I'll post pics of the new rims and tires this afternoon.. Look for those.

Re: Got Kumhos? Come in.... I run the 712's on THIS, and I think they work pretty damm good for a tire that only cost $102! Granted wot in 1st is useless, but most tires are anyway, but it does hook hard in the corners. Driving in the rain is no problem(cold or not), I would still like to get some Nittos for the rear but for the price you cant beat these. <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />
