Message	Just need to warm them up really good. Straight line grip is mediocre, but lateral grip is pretty decent for the $$. : are saying these tires are grippy ever used them OR are you just spouting off what you read in a magazine? : i really cant beleive im hearing people on here claiming that the Kumhos get good grip. What the hhell are you comparing them to? : NOW, I dont think they are a bad tire, the price is great, BUT i would NEVER use them again in the rear. They have flat out been the worst gripping tire i have ever used. It is extremly noticible on assfault, pretty much any tire is going to get good straight line grip on cement, but when you hit the smooth blacktop look out cause the kumhos slip and slide around unpredictably with only slight throttle. : Ive had Goodyear Eagles, Bridgstones Re910s, Firestone firehawk Sz50s, and the Kumhos where the worst of them all, and by a large margin. : You people who are claiming that these tires get good grip do you all drive broken down NAs? or do you just cruze around slowly?, because with the slightest agressive driving the Kumhos dont get shit for grip. : Now i dont think the Kumhos are a bad tire, i mean shit its Z rated and they are cheap as hell, plus they last forever, cause of the high tread wear rateing, BUT they dont get good grip. :
