... dont' like them as much as others. I checked out the posts here and thought these would be a good choice. I was riding Sumitomo HTR+ Z rated on the 17s. The Khumo are quiet ( so were the Sumis) have a much softer ride ( pleasant) but the handling has suffered. I travel road to work and on the cloverleaf I was able to do 60MPH and accelerate toward the straight without a squeel or concern that the tries would brake loose, no wobble. The Khumos start to squeal and wobble at 50MPH on the same turn.
I had Yoko AVD DBs before and like them better thtn the Khumos but the Sunis the best. If you are lookng for a bit softer ride than the MXVs then this would be a good choice the ride is definitely softer on bumps and potholes and ruts but not as precise on the twisites and corners.
For cheap tires ( and this was my major concern they are ok, but the Sumis and Yokos are just about the same price)
