Kuhmo Tires at Carlisle

[jeffsquire]

Was looking at Speed channel today where a representative from Kuhmo tires attended the Carlisle auto show. Kuhmo had a set of tires which smoked red and blue when burning out.

The rep said Kuhmo is on the cutting edge of materials, techniques and compounds making high mileage and performance an eveyryday thing......Industry speak, I know. Some of the posts from you all support this and some don't.

My question is: there are MANY tire commentaries out there on this site. But how many of you are satisfied with Kuhmo? Does their price justify substandard performance, or are they substandard to begin with? On tire Rack they seem to be among the cheapest. Any news for "break through" tires on this brand in the near future? Any thoughts are welcome.
