kumho tires (ecsta 711 or 712) are decent on the street.. cheap.. but shitty at the track.. (lots of wheel hop)

i have the 711s

i commute up and down a winding steep mountain road, I buy the 711' s cause theyre cheap (bought a set installed for under $300 today) and are fairly good on wet roads.
If you dont have to worry about it falken azenis are the ----. one of the best non-r compound tires IMO.

i`ve had dunlop sp9000, FM-901, W-10 and Azenis, had them with the exact same size, and suspension setup
i tried them all on the same mountain course
i`d take the W10s over the all of them.
for the price 901 suck man., ok stiff side wall, ok traction but VERY unpredictable. >:(
Azenis are ok, very good traction but take a good while to warm up, while it is still not-so preditable.
W-10 warms up in no time, almost the same grip as Azenis, very preditable, but mine set lasted only 6 months. that`s with very heavy mountain runs. plain street duty i think it will last 10000 + miles.
BUT they`ve already stop making W-10s :P

my azenis just got here today, they weigh ------- 23 lbs each, but ---- it, if they grip good it's worth it.
