Let us know what you think I'll be ordering these ASAP if they are decent. They look like they will match my KD design also.

Original pattern, no comparison. Way better than the Nittos. I can't see the new pattern changing that significantly.

The new pattern has to be better with the extra channels. I still would'nt go past 50mph anyway. Also at speed, large patches of standing water or monsoon like conditions are obviously a no no. You'll hydroplane right off the road and end up in a ditch/wall.

You just need to drive easy, be more aware of conditions, and take into account your on a reduced tread depth tire.
