I purchased this tyres after some good reviews on the internet. And well, what can I say? I have always driven my cars on P-Zero, Effiency GripPerformance and Potenza's S001's, and this Kumho tyre is better then all before. The dry grip is incredible. When pushing the tyres to the limit, it stays unbelieveble predictable. It doesn't have any difficulties with the 310HP on the front wheels. Above 50km/ph there is enough grip to prevent spinning wheels.
The wet grip is really good, but also depence on the surface. The straight line wet grip is really good, better than my Vredestein wintertyres on wet. The cornering grip in wet is ok. Not spectaculair, but just ok. But again, when coming to the limits, it is really predictable.
The road feedback is the weakest point of this tyre. It's not that you don't feel connectec to the road, but you could have had more feedback and steering feel.
The handling on the other side is just outstanding. When turning the wheel this tyres immediately want to turn. Wow! They are so sharp and precise. You can have a lot of fun with them. And, the comfort is really good. This tyres are more quiet than the Pirelli's, Good Years and Bridgestone's. I can't say anything about the wear at this point, but when comparing the price of this tyres against a Pilot Sport for example, wear is almost not relevant based on their price.
Conclusion: the dry grip and handling is just outstanding. Unbelieveble sharp, but not uncomfortable! A definitely buy again!
