Thank you BadAndy, that guy that says Kumho, spelled right, must be off-roading with his car. I just got the Kumho Ecsta MX 285/40/17 all around and I like it. It's a soft tire 220 treadwear so when you launch, you go. The 712s has a harder treadwear but does have better rain traction. Anyone who has a Camaro or TA or any sportscar that has big tires should have enough "Common Sense" that these cars are bad in the rain. Take Care
