Firestone Wide Ovals vs Kumho MXs
Anyone tried both? I'm going to be needing another set of tires soon and I'm starting to hear good rumors about the Firestones. Can anyone confirm?

I cant compare the two but I can tell you I love my Firestone W/Os. I was at Putnam Park road course this weekend. These tires heat up very nicely and stick to the track like glue. I have had a set on my '02 Z06 since last Fall and love them. Have used them for high speed road courses at Roebling Rd, Nashville Superspeedway 4 times and Putnam this past weekend and many low speed autocross events. Treadlife is very good in a performance tire. Just bought another spare set on Tirerack due to great price and $88.00 rebate right now. The tires are great on wet or dry surfaces and very quiet on the road at speed. Firestone has a great tire at a price you can't beat.

I'm the same way but vice versa... I have not had both but would never change out the MXs unless I went to a R tire. I truly love these things. For my experience level I was very fast this last weekend with -1.5/-1 camber and a little bit of toe.
