+3 but then again, I already have the Kumho XS.

Only one day at the track so far, my allignment (from 14 months ago) needs to be checked plus I was rusty. However, for the little track time I did have, the tires were very sticky but I'm not pushing them to the max.

Can't wait to see this test. Grassroots rated the XS as the best of the new cheaper sticky meats

I just got my new star specs installed yesterday. 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. Got an alignment also.. I am VERY happy with them! They stick WAY harder then the OEM RE050, and IMO ride a LOT nicer as well. Also, with the wider tire, it fills the wheel well a lot better as well.. Much nicer look.

Probably one of the best aftermarket tires I have purchased.

I was at the honda dealership the other day and a sales man was talking about tires. I mentioned that I maybe getting some tires off line from tire rack and he shouted how different the online tires are compared to "OE" HONDA tires... not sure what that meant. He began to explain about thread and whatnot... anyone care to explain?
