Default How many run Kumho MX tires?

I'm thinking about getting them (for my Type R) and I wanted to get some S4 driver's opinions. How do they stack up against the S03's or even the older Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s.

Thanks.

Default We were just talking about them earlier today. Those of us that have them like them.

Me, they are good, but I slide all over the place on damp twisties. Maybe all tires do that though

Default Used to run them and loved them.

Now I have R-comps for the track and I don't need a performance tire on the street (I use all-seasons so I can drive in light snow). If I wanted a good high performance street tire that could take track/autox use, I'd get the MX again.

Default they excel in dry/light rain and occasional track use. They will hydroplane in deep water.

They will also be some of the loudest street tires you can have probably, but I don't care about that.
