Kuhmo's are here!
My tires arrived today. The funny thing is that they are shipped in pairs. As they were my mom couldn't get them in the door, she had to cut them apart. I love wide tires ;)
These things look awesome, I can't wait to put them on. I may do that tomorrow, I'm just not sure. Technically they are for Christmas, but then again my parents only paid for TWO of them. I might be able to talk them into letting me put them on the car. Afterall, they will be much safer in this rainy weather we've been having. :cool:

I got them from tire rack, 275 40 17's $113 each plus shipping
BTW, I think the tread design is pretty neat. I really don't car what it looks like though as long as it peforms well. You can always tell a Kuhmo burnout, the big gap down the middle!

The reason why they are good in the rain is because you just got them!
They still have full tread depth on them compared to the worn out ones the owner is most likely replacing....
Although the compound makes a big difference as well, so who knows, maybe they have a great compound for wet traction as well.
Just my opinion

Re: Kuhmo's are here! (Smash)
Well I have heard a lot of import guys(yes I hang out with them too) say they are great tires. And my freind has a s/c T/A with them on and he said they hook pretty well too. I haven't heard anyone tell me about them in the rain, but looking at the tread patter, they should be pretty good. And plus they are relatively cheap.
Does anyone know the number to them, I saw the ad on tv but forgot the number. I need to know if they have 285's for my rear.
