I bought BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW's, and I am very pleased with them. I have dedicated snow tires for Winter use.

I just purchased KUMHO ECSTA MX at oem sizes. I currently have SO-3's and they really perform, i only have one compaint, the tire wears at the middle, is this caused by a different contact patch and design fron SO-2? I can't wait to compare it with my MX's.

If I were still living in California, I'd still be driving shyt, taking BART, living in an old small house, on a next to nothing lot, with a wife that had to work full time to help pay the bills.

Out here, you just gots to put up width smoke in resturants & bars, having to order UNSWEET iced tea, and NO I don't need artifical sweetner, wunderful englich like "WONT FILL DIRT".

We actually have 4 distinct seasons! I didn't realize there were 4 seasons the first 30 odd years of my life.

Kumho Ecsta MX is so far the closest to SO3 performance. Godd dry traction, the turn -in is stable, cornering precise with slight oversteer, but easily compesated with throttle control..
