[s-cars] CUMho's

Hey Paul,
 
    Good time of year for tire lust! I had a set of these so  I'll give a 
brief review. They are very close to an all out race tire IMO. I  auto-xed on 
them a few times and it actually took a run or 2 to get heat in  them. That being 
said they are almost always too cold to have max grip on the  street. At 60 
degrees and below they are like glass. They work well in the rain  for the 
first month or 2 of their lives after that not so good. I know you are  looking 
for performance above all else but in case someone else is thinking  about these 
I'll give the more mundane details. They get very very noisy after a  few 
miles and flat spot badly overnight. As you can tell I didn't really like  them a 
whole lot but they are very grippy (when warmed up) and good bang for the  
buck. I switched to the Falken ziex 512s and am very happy. Not as much all out  
grip in the heat  but much quieter, better in the rain and way better grip  
when cold or in cooler temps. If you are doing a lot of  straight line/  
highway driving and some back road fun I would go with something else but if you  
are just looking for max grip for the money they might be perfect for you.

In the Baloney spirit  of "let's mount up street rubber while it's still
winter and see what  happens", I figure it's time to find a replacement
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.  

IfThoughtlessness appreciated  and expected.  TIA!
