New tires Kumho KH11!!!!!
Comming from the Mich. Pilot sports to the kumho is noth the big of a diffrence. The ride feels the same if not better. stearing response is tighter and that may have something to do with the new size. Went with 235/50/17. It dose some what look better on stock suspension gap, but main concern was price. 450 from the Tire rack and 115 to have pep boys install with lifetime roadhazard and balance because they can order the tire. thats a saving of almost 400 compared to the Mich. Piolts. Next Mod will Random Cat and budget B-pipe.

I have heard reports of the lumps as well as reports that the tread wears out quickly. I have also heard complaints of road noise after 7k-10k miles.
However, I also work with a guy who has Ecsta 712's and has had no problems. He is on his second set.

First real road test on the tires today and its all they say and more. With the pilots I could spin them easy. I had to floor it to spin these babys. Grip in the rain was really nice. Its funny how a new mod and tires seems "like" a new my car.
