Kumho's kick ***!!!
I've got them on my 2000 ES. I had an... uh.. "aggressive alignment", setup, and wore out the Bridgestones pretty quick. I love the Kumhos, and they seem to wear pretty well, as long as I keep the alignment straight after racing.

Anyone ever had Yokohama AVS Intermediates and switched to Kumhos? The grip of the Yoko's is awesome, but the treadwear rating of 160 sucks ***

When I get around to modding my Protege I'm going to put eithe rof those two tires on, but I want some that last more than 20k miles...
