I love them too. Very good traction and the tire pattern is awsome.

Is the sidewall on the RF as ugly as the non-RF?? I have the non RF and and happy with every aspect of them except the stupid sidewall design!

I just had a set put on about a month ago. So far, so good for the price. I also like the GSD3, but I went with the RF's. The only bad stuff that I have heard is poor wet surface tire, but I don't know yet. It's been pretty dry here, great driving weather.

Here are a couple of pictures right after the install (sorry, they are not cleaned up yet)

Oh Yeah, and 1 pic on the way to get my new Kumhos.

I have had them for about two years now...I have no complaints...They ride much better than the original Goodyears, are much quieter on the expressway too!

The Kumho web site lists several versions for the Corvette. Which model tire do you have?

They are great. I put them on about three months ago and so far so good. I purchased them from Tire Rack.com for about 800 shipped.
