[s-cars] CUMho's

[pkrasusky at ups.com]

That's exactly my concern. 

How you think the HTRZ II's compare the the MX's in dry?  What of the
CUMho Ecsta SPT or 712?

How about these Dunlop Direzza (sound a bit too much like diharreah?)?
Cheap @ $107.  
 
I'd love RA-1s but at the rate I eat 'em they just don't make sense.
 
"Son, why are your tires blue???"  UMmmmmmmmmm...

You won't be happy going from the MX to the 512's.  The dry grip just
isn't there.

Why not just go for a set of RA-1's?  ;)

Tirerack has Kumho MX in 255/40/17 for 133 a corner.

In the Baloney spirit of "let's mount up street rubber while it's still

set of streeties.

Anyone have good sources for CUMho MX's?  Last season I'd called around
everywhere and they were pretty tough to find in a 255 (maybe they're
discontinued?).  Ended up buying Pizzo's 2x trackers and used what was 
left of them.

If not, I've seen a number hear praising them Falken Ziex 512's or
whatever, and the BFG KDW's or whatever.  I like the near-$100 price
point, so unfort. F1's are outtie (some have a crack smoke habit - I'm 
on tires).  How you compare the 512's to an MX?  I dug those, like
pencil erasers heh heh.  T1S are out, guess would also consider HTRZ
II's.

The world is my roadcoarse (Johnny L be damned), wet / noise / wear is 
irrelevant.  Grip, grip, grip, 255, and price are.

Thoughtlessness appreciated and expected.  TIA!
