Are you not a fan of the Falken Azenis RT-615 everyone else seems to be getting?

I've had the Kumho on my talon for about 4 years now. I think they are a great tire for the money. They seam to hook pretty well, although i have driven cars with better tires and theres a noticable difference. They are excelent in the rain. They wear pretty fast. I have under 20K on mine and they are about shoot.

overall I am happy with them, but when its time for new tires I am going to spend a little more and get better.

Ya, after I posted that I strarted thinking 20K since I put them on dosn't sound rite. So I went down and checked my little book I write everything in. The tires have 14,500K on them. Theres about 4/32" left on one side and 1-2/32 left on the other (stupid negitive camber). So if they make it to 20K they will be bald.
