Message	The Kumho XS are actually supposed to be incredible. I used to be a diehard Toyo fan, but I haven't heard a negative thing about the XS from anyone. And seeing that Toyo no longer makes a size I can use, I am jumping ship to try out the Kumhos firsthand next month. FWIW, I'll be putting out a good amount of power on just 215/45/16s, so pretty sure it'll be a good indicator of how well they grip in a straight line.
