The Khumos are a great tire for the price. Dry traction is pretty good, but my friend is sporting some 712's and he lost control around a turn when the road was just a little damp. He was following me and I was in my beater Mazda with generic tires, we entered the turn at the same speed, that just gos to show.

Yokohama AVS or Paradas are my choice, Potenzas come on the 350Z.

Not to sure about teh kumhos, but in general I wouldnt recommend yokas just cuz their treadlife is horrible, compared to other tires.

not considering yokohama ES100's?

what I really want to know... is between the ES100's and padra spec2's, which one is better (and all the pros/cons of each).
