Default question- firestone wide ovals

has anyone bought a set of the new firestone wide ovals for their C5/Z06?
what do you think of them and how do they compare to your last tires, and what were they?
would you buy again or recommend the wide ovals to anyone?
im also considering the kumho mxs.
thanks,
don
