At least one lister had serious problems with the Sumis. They went 
square on him overnight, every night. Two sets. I think he burned 
them in his driveway.

Kumhos are heavy. I *hated* them on my S6 avant. Handled well, but 
were like stones otherwise. Rode poorly, very stiff.

Falkens have gotten good writeups on AutoWorld (for what *that's* 
worth!).

Me, I'm running Toyo UHP all seasons right now, will move them 
over to our C4 A6 next year and buy myself another set of the T1-S 
or the replacement which is supposed to wear better.
