Message Don't worry, it wasn't in my Z.... rather the beater 93 Prelude VTEC serving as my daily beater car.

My impressions are very positive. Minimal amount of spin, good grip and very little sliding. Ofcourse, I was driving as carefully as I can (no records broken), just being sensible.

You might ask what this has to do with the Z. Well, my Prelude has always been the tire test mule for my Z. The previous set of tires (which are now on my Z) was the Yokohama AVS Intermediates. On the Prelude, the AVs was noisier on the road (just as in the Z), but in the snow, it slipped and slid everywhere. Wet and snow performance just didn't cut it.

The Kumho beat the AVS by a mile in the snow conditions. Although the Z will never see the snow, I already have plans to get the Kumhos on the Z for it's next set of rubber.

Just wanted to throw in my thought of the day... LOL
