Re: look @ these tires I just put a set of those on my Formula a couple weeks ago. They stick MUCH better than the Goodyear F1's I had on previously. They definately aren't as sticky as the Nitto's I normally run, but they work well enough for the occasional stoplight race. I have ET Streets for race nights, anyways.

Re: look @ these tires I had some KUMHOs, Goodyears, michelins, and now i have some called Vision i think, or something like that, they were cheap 115 a piece but they are made by michelin. I will get the name if someone wants it, but they have no cornering whats so ever, but in a straightline they feel almost like the ET streets i have. I shocked the hell out of me how good they grip.

Re: look @ these tires I have the 712 Kumhos which are one grade below the MX series and about $30 cheaper per tire. They are acceptable in the rain but seem to aquaplane more than the OEMs that came on my 99 SS. It could be because I run the tires on the high side of air pressure.
Re: look @ these tires I picked up my MX's at a local tire shop for $146 apiece, that's about half the price of the KD's and from some of the reviews on Tirerack.com, they perform just as well.

Re: look @ these tires um...arcon, you may want to lower your pressure a little, cuz the rain is where everyone agrees that the 712 shines. I'm in FL, and it is by far the best tire I ahev driven in the rain. That wide channel really moves the water!
