Ijust got them

I just put mine on in a 225/50/16 and they are awesome. I got the v-rated instead of the z-rated to have better tread wear. They are 100% percent better than the michelins that I had. The wet traction in these is better than the dry traction of the others. I can't spin my tires anymore.

Sqeeeeeeeaaaaaal!

My roommate has 'em on his Integra and my ex-girlfriend had a set on her Si. They suck.
That is to say, they suck in comparison to RE-730s or SP Sport 8000's, but those tires are in a different category. The Kuhmos will last forever, stick half-decent and roll pretty good (haha). They slide like biatches though if you're used to a seriously sticky tire.
I'm a Yoko A520 fan if you want low-buck tires with some stick and that oh-so-important fancy tread.
