kuhmo 711

i just put some kuhmo 711s on the back of my car and for how cheap they are they are doing very well. they hook up pretty well for 137 shipped from tirerack. i am gonna get to more to put on my front rims. anybody looking for cheap tires might try these if you want.

im running those too (245/50/16) and they have been great tires so far, havent been able to track test them yet but im sure they'll do better than the 215/65/15 Goodyear GTII's i was running before.

I have a set on my car.. they seem to be wearing very fast. I drive this car like I would any car. I am not espically hard on my tires, but damn, I can't believe how fast they wore out.

For the price they can't be beat. They do wear fast but they are a soft compound tire. I live 12 miles from work. When I pull into my driveway,any grass or pebbles I run over sticks to them. They get pretty sticky when they are hot. Most High Performance tires do wear quickly. There is a trade-off just like anything else. They are excellent in the rain too. There is only two things about them that annoy me. First they flat spot really quick, like overnight. Second when they are cold they ride really rough. Both of those work out after a couple miles so it's not really any big deal. I will definatly buy another set.
