Car and Driver- Tire Test

btw, here's a nice tire testing article on medium priced summer tires under $160 unfortunately, the Ventus rs3 wasn't out at the time

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...csta_xs_page_9

Anyone driving on theKumho Ecsta XS???

notice on this page of the article-

"In the wet, however, the Kumhos were nothing short of diabolical, which kept them from victory.

I just took a chance and ordered some Hankook RS3's will give a review once I get some miles on them.

It is one of the tires on my list of tires to try, many of my friends swear by them. Also, I want to try RE-11's.

For dry tracks, Kumho XS is the best bet. I went with AD08 as it's a great wet tire but the XS is supposed to be faster in the dry. My datalogger shows I'm pulling 1.4 G's on the AD08's
