Default Kuhmo tire information please

I saw a post recently that refered to Kuhmo tires. Great price @ $580 for complete set and this person was very satisfied but i would like to hear from others and their experince w/ them. Can you get the exact replacement size? Any and all info will be appreciated as i'm about ready to replace my stock runflats. (28,000 miles) Thanks in advance.

I have used the Kumho victorracer autocross tires and have been very satisfied with them. Several folks at work have used other sizes of their street tires with no complaints. Do not have any experience with the Corvette size street tires. Check Tire Rack for info on the exact sizes available. Remember that they will not be runflats ! Be sure to get a plug kit and small compressor to carry with you if you get them, or update your AAA membership.

I saw some complaints from some Kuhmo owners about the grip of the tire... may not be the wonderfull solution it appears to be. Goodyear makes the F1 in a non-runflat... there only in the high $600s and probably have better grip and noise/comfort than the run-craps.

Go to the Kuhmo website and look at the Tire weights. They seem to weight the same as the runflats.
Just food for thought
