Ordered the Kumho XS my friend just got an s2000 and got the dunlops ordered today as well so we will see how they compare

Thanks everyon for the help

 

Let us know your results. I'll be looking for tires in a few months.

 

Since I am going to get new rims VERY soon, I was thinking about getting Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric, BFGoodrichg-Force T/A KDW 2, Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport, or the Kumho Ecsta XS, but I am really on the fence between the bridgestones and the kumho's tire rack doesn't have reviews of the kumho's... But i just want good tires for every day use that don't wear to fast and are good in the rain, any thoughts on why some are better than others and if i should stay away from a specific one? I'd imagine they are all pretty decent tires...

 

+1 for Dunlop Star Specs, this is the second season for them on my summer wheels and they are great. Sidewalls are a little softer than the B'stone 050s that come stock on the S. (I bought 225/255 17")

Great Grip, I have found that they break away cleanly, but with barely any sound. Wet traction is fine and I haven't had any hydroplaning problems even in heavy rain/standing water.

I wish they were made in larger sizes tho, might switch to the new Kumho XS when these wear out.

 

break away cleanly with barely any sound?

 

You guys get to try em out yet?

 

Since i am prob going to keep my stock tires for another season, what do you guys think of these two sets of tires? Or do you guys have other recomendations for AP1 stockies, i prob will go to an autox once or twice but for the most part i will be doing city driving, and I have some kumho fronts that still seem to be in good condition is it bad to mix and match front and rear wheels?

 

how much tread do you have left in the front?
from what i know its best to not mix and match tires

 

oh and nope havnt tested the XS out yet looks like next week my ill have everything set to go

 

looks like quite a bit left, prob 70% or better (i gota look again, they are buried in the garage since i put them away for storage) ? the rears are shot tho...
