Very popular tire (try some searches, should be a lot of info).

I've had them for several months now. Wet traction was actually pretty impressive. Dry is acceptable, nothing earth shattering, I've had worse and better. Given the price though -- I'd have no heart burn buying 'em again.

 

I have the kumhos on my 93 ta that has a few bolt ons and they spin pretty good. In the rain they do awesome, in dry they suck for me. That is not to say they are not good tires, however. My friend has them on his 93 z with like almost the exact same mods as me and has no traction problem whatsover. You just have to try them on your car and see how they work. They dont cost alot so it wont put a big hurt on your wallet if they dont work. Excellent rain tire though.

 

For another $5/piece, you can get these:

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500

For $106/piece, you can get these:

Pirelli PZero Nero M+S

I'll be getting the Pirellis soon probably, unless I opt for a dry weather only tire.Today I just shredded another layer off the tires I have now.

 

i have them on my car right now, and in my opinion, theyre the worst tires that ive ever had. both wet and dry traction are horrible
