So far its been raining cats n dogs up here so no chance to really test them. The do handle rain better than the stock Toyos. Definate increase in ride quality (firmer sidewall?). They look pretty too so I'm happy.

Sweet, how about the yest and today!? Even at 235mm width, my Kuhmos are EXCELLENT in the rain. They were comparable to the much more expensive SZ50 Firestones I had. The SZ50s had a stiffer sidewall though. But for the $$, these cannot be beat. They have shown excellent treadwear also. (ie.. about 5-9k on them now)

Not too much fun yet.. been nothing but traffic and rain. I did hit 50-60 on a back street to blockbuster in heavy rain. The car felt completely in control.

BTW, you going to the Nissan meet this saturday? I'm thinking about it.

Donno yet. Standing out in the rain seeing stuff I've seen before is not my idea of a good time sometimes. If I have the time though,.

Doh... didn't think about rain. I don't think I wanna go stand in the rain either... hopefully it'll dry out (yeah right).

ME Too, Me too! I got them mounted this past Tuesday at Wal-Mart. I was worried when I saw four guys having to push down on the tire to mount it. Tought I ordered the wrong size. I am going to order the back ones this week I think if I have the money or wait till early December. But anyways they look nice and definetley like them better than those dumb RSAs. Got traction...
