We're getting hammered by rain here today. These tires have far better wet grip than those old Kuhmos did. On corners where the back end would break loose accidentally , these new tires are sticking like glue.

BTW, when I removed the Kuhmos, they still had quite a bit of tread on them before they got to the wear indicators. I had a bubble in the sidewall of one of the fronts, so I had to replace those. I wanted to keep the grip levels constant front to rear, so I replace all 4.

There's nothing like the good feeling you get when mounting up new shoes on the little lady....

BTW, I went with Pirelli P Zero Neros and the ride is smooth as silk.

It will sure it will; at least until the rears get worn.
