i love my MXs... mike, i haven't noticed them gripping any worse than any other tire i've had in the rain. then again, i probably don't push it like you do.

Also the Yok es-100 and Falken ze-512 are classified an all-season tire (M+S), whereas the kumho 712 is a summer only (UHP) tire. But I digress, good point anyway

i still remember the original aqua tread line of tires :twobigthumbsdown: they get noisy after about 5000 miles. sounds like big mud tires on lifted trucks.

Any tire with an M+S (mud+snow) printed on the sidewall is by definition an all-season tire. Even the toyo proxes FZ-4 (now Proxes4) is considered an all-season tire. It doesn't mean that they are reccomended for snow however.

Edit: My bad, only the H rated es-100's are M+S rated... :doh: 205/50R15's are V rated.
