Will always spin in first but they track nicely & are good in the wet. Havent had a good chance to give them a good hiding but so far im happy. If you want good traction go to federal 595rs-r. R spec tyre but the compramise is longevity & wet weather usability. Unreal when you get some heat into them will be goin back to them when the kumho's are knackered.A better priced tyre that jp has nearly done an 11 flat was the maxxis ma-z1. I run these on the fronts & they are nice & quiet & they feel alot better under hard driving than my federals 595 did that I had on the fronts previously.

Mind you I might be tempted to try the Kuhmo's next time. It depends on how much you want to spend and whether you want traction, wet weather handling, or long tyre life.

I just got the new Maxxis MA-Z4s in the same size and for $250 each. They hold up great, only traction loss I get in the dry with them is 1-2 chirp.

(300rwkw)best place to purchase them is ebay seller St George Tyres (Something like that)Tyrepower sell them for 465 eachthat ebay seller sells them for $660 pair off memory.I had just fitted the maxis MA-Z1's on the front and they do feel as good as my previous tyresYokahama Advans (One of the best rated steer tyres if not the best).
