I've been researching the tire thing (since it is a $400+ investment) and have settled on the Kumho 712s. Currently have Dunlops...they're ok, but have never felt Dunlops wear too well. I was tempted by some Conti ExtremeContacts, with claims of better wear, wet handling etc. Really, based on Tire Rack comparison charts, they look good...but then again, after talking with the local tire guys and y'alls comments, I went conservative and the Kumhos...on Friday that is!
Can't wait to get some rubber between me and the road so I can start drivin' again.
