I just replaced the Kumho's with a set of Falken 912's. Since I live in Florida, I have no worry's over snow fall. I wanted a tire that had a nice quite ride and good dry/wet driving for Florida weather. Hence, this tire has me my expectations. Sticks real good to hot payment and handles just as well in a good rain. All Floridians share one fear...we call it "oil slick roads." We go for a good dry spell and then get scattered showers, thus the oil and water make it slick to drive on. I feel very safe with these tires.
