I'd use them in a minute. In fact, I've bookmarked the page to use this
summer. Kumhos are proving to be excellent tires for enthusiasts, used in a
lot of
autocrossing and other fun stuff. At that price, you could afford to throw
them away every three years, so you always know you're on fresh rubber. Their
only limitations are that they aren't to be used on snow or ice, and I suspect
that their speed rating is probably not much over 100 mph. So they should be
good tires unless you expect to be duplicating the ice-racing stunts in the
last Bond movie. I've talked several times to the Tire Rack folks (they
advertising in our MINI magazine, "MCSquared") and they're very informative
and frank
with their advice. If you've got any questions, just call them. Also, they're
pretty careful about what tires they carry
Cheers,
Gary
