I have had nothing but luck with Kumho tires.

I have tried their winter tires, the KW11's. I had a Kia Rio renter with no ABS. The agency slapped on these winter tires. I looked at them, "Kumho's" I said, "blah". Nevermind. These things stopped on a dime without any ABS on snowy roads with ice pellets. I couldn't get the car to skid anywhere near out of control. Truely, truely impressive. I cannot recommend these enough for amazing value. They have P205 55R 16's, a perfect winter-sized tire for the 3.

I have also tried their performance tires, 712 Ecsta Supra on a buddy's Civic. Amazing. With these warmer temps, I tried them in dry and rain. No slip, perfect in the rain. Most importantly, NO MORE TIRE HOPPING! These things stick to the road like glue. They even come in P205 50R 17.

If you haven't considered Kumho's before, I suggest you take a look. Your wallet and your car will thank you.

I second Kumho. They make great tires(at least for trucks). I know a lot of people that run them on their Jeeps and mine will be getting them soon. They are a lot cheaper than other brands, and perform the same, if not better, than most tires out there. If you go to tirerack, you can compare the reviews and rating of their tires to other brands.

Their autocross tires are very popular and perform well. I've also been told that their Ecsta MX tires are close in performance to Falken's Azenis Sports. The MXs' don't have the performance fall-off with higher temps like the Falkens though.

No bigger fan of Kuhmo than right here. I've had 712s, MXs and 711s on my cars and they have done superbly.

Second that. there are a bunch of us in the Porsche chapter with Ecsta 712s who run DEs. Not only that, they are good in the rain.

A set of Boxster tires lasts about 20,000 miles. The Kumhos are around $500 whereas replacement Conti's are three times that.

Kumho's are great for my Camaro...Only thing grippier I can think of that is street-safe would be some Nitto Dr's...

this is great to hear as I was debating on getting the 712 when I get my new rims

im thinking about getting some 711's and they seem to be up to par with the 712....just wanted to know are they really that good?

Get the 712s. There is only a $6 price difference between them and the 711's.
