thanks for confirming.
If you think Michelins are junk, wait until you try the Kumos. Seriously? What is your definition of junk?

was just parphrasing PatternDay Trader. i never insinuated they were junk, am looking for more than 20k miles out of a set. I know Kumo are not going to happen on my car.

I have the Continental DWS06s on my C7. Over 17K trouble free miles in all types of weather including light snow. Great tires.
Yep, great tires, but no ZP, and that's a deal killer for me on a daily driver in an area of poor road conditions.

I've had two punctures on my OEM PSS since I purchased my new car in Feb. One was fixable, and the other was a replacement free w/ my tire/wheel warranty.

This is what it looks like when a non-run flat spare tire goes flat and you drive another 15 miles anyway.




Its worth mentioning that I couldn't go over about 50, not because I didn't try, but because there was too much rolling resistance. The tire itself held together for about a mile, which is less than I was expecting.
