I purchased the Kuhmo Supra 712s from the Tire Rack.

Very inexpensive tire @ $71 each. My impressions so far:

- very nice grip. Seems to stick forever in the dry. Has good grip when wet too: I never felt any little slides or other funny traction activity. I know these aren't winter tires, but I am curious what will happen on California freeways that might get a little snow and ice on them.

- they have a pretty mean looking tread!

- I thought these tires would whine like a spoiled kid, but no, not the case at all. In fact I hear less noise than before (Bridgestone RE 92s) - I would rate them pretty close, noisewise, as to a touring tire.

- They do seem to tramline, that is, follow rain grooves, bumps, etc. that are on the road. Its not serious at all - in fact I kinda like this as it tells me what is happening on the road. It does make the steering feel a little loose, however. I may play around with some toe settings in the near future and see if things change.

In sum though, these are very nice tires....I'd buy them again.

khumo's suck badly. i went through a pair of those and they couldn't grip under hard driving. i use toyo proxiews t1-s and they grip a lot better than khumo's. tha prox cost 170 each for 245-40-17. which is what i use.
