Kumho designed them to be "Falken killers". I just wanted to be different and be one of the first to run these tires.

Those look really cool, Kumho seems to be making decent tires lately. I've owned two sets (ASX's and Solus KR21's) and really liked them both.

Nice ! What tires were you running before / what were your times ? I'd like to see how many seconds the new kuhmos will knock off your auto X times . DAMN 180 thread wear FTW !
