They use to be fairly reasonable, & if you don't do a ton of driving, might be an option if their priced same or less then other tires your looking at.


So $1k cash for 245/40/18, they seemed like the best bang for my buck, I got them anyways. The tire guy told me he runs them on the street and they easily last him 3-4 summers, 30-35k miles just like you observed with the Kumho XS's. Says the new V2 are good in the rain, pretty much best bang summer tire I could get for the price. I think that is exactly what I was looking for. An excellent performance tire that would easily last me a few summers, not to mention they look good too! I am already used to the very sticky Advan A13c's that come stock on the Evo, so didn't really want anything less performance wise. Can't wait to get them installed this weekend.
