Default Kumho MX

Have any of you bought the new Kumho Mx's? If so how do you like them? Just wondering because I might buy them tomorrow. Thanks

I heard they are really good. So so in the rain, not as good in the rain as the 712's but better dry handling.

I bought the Kuhmo Ecsta Supras. If the MXs are anything like them you will love em. The KESs are great for dry and wet pavement but suck on snow.

They're fine in the rain. Actually, just as well as my SP Sport 5000s were. The only time I had issues was at below 40-45 degrees and raining, they got stiffer on me.

Really, they're AMAZING.

Yeah I bought them today at my work. They seem pretty good so far but I haven't tested them out really. The only thing I noticed was they are noisy but I can deal with that. I'll have to do some driving this weekend to break them in.

I'm gonna be gettin the Kumho MX tomorrow also, in P205/50/15 size...

Is this going to be "bad" for my tires, in comparision to using the p195/55/15 tires? Can someone explain the REAL differences between the two sizes (pros and cons)? Thank you!!!

You'll have more contact patch, the car will feel heavier but corner better. Your speedometer will be 1.6% high. Do a search, there's way more than that, you're just lazy.

The MXs aren't really noisy after they break in. My friend has Dunlop FM-901s on her car, they're WAY louder. A lot less sticky too.

Yeah what's up with those shapes on the sidewall? They look like ass. How much did you guys pay for them?
