Original question: sounds like treadlife is a biggie for you...go with the 712's.

Anyone have experience with the Kumho ASX's? Those were recommended to me by a local tire dealer. Price seems good - little under $150 each, mounted, balanced and with tax.

I have the 712's on my 99GT and can't wait to get rid of them for a real tire.

I loved my SZ50s as well, but unfortunately they no longer make them. You may be able to find some leftover stock if you call around. They are a great tire on dry and wet pavement.
