kumo 711 tires

ok it was time for a set of sneakers for the ss/sc so i went and picked up a set of kumho 711 w rated and all that ****. ok they are a very nice set of sneakers i went with 225/40/18 and i have to say the car drives so much better then it ever did with the pirellies on it under normal conditions and when you feel the need to lay in on them and put them through their paces they hook extremly hard in the corners they are somewhat harder to over power then the stockers were high speed stability is kick ass i would recomend these when it is time to get new sneakers for your ride

Kuhmos are nice tires. You might wanna bump the pressure to 41 psi or so to get any kind of extended use out of them. Kuhmo uses some soft compounds as I've seen.

Hmm, the 711 tires... Perhaps you should have updated to the Kuhmo ECSTA series.. I have the ECSTA SPT tires, and they are superior handling in both wet and dry conditions.. But good luck with whatever you have, I have not had one problem with my tires at all.
