Kumho's

Wow is all I have to say, once again. These tires are SO SHWEET! Today it finally rain. Its one of those days that I actually wanted it to rain! And it poured! But that didn't stop me today, I wanted to see what these tires were made of and they are CERTAINLY made for the rain! On the highways, I was able to keep reguarly speed of 100-120km/h and not have any problems with slipping, or hydroplanning. Braking in the rain was no problem, even without ABS, these tires grip the road. Its so weird how these tires just CUT thru the water.

I actually took my car back to the place where I bought them, because my car was verring to the right, and figuring alignment. But infact, my alignment was perfect. What the problem was, is called Wide Tire Syndrome. Its what racing cars have as well. The tires have so much grip, and due to torque, they automatically veer to the right, due to how well they grip. They did however re-align my steering wheel to get rid of most of the alignment problem, and now there is a little veer to the right. Oh well, feels more... racing style.. hehe... Its funny, cuz before I actually use to hate driving the car in the rain due to the tires... now i'm looking forward to the winter and the Vancouver rain...
