well i waited a month for these dang tires and they finally came in! i was soo excited, ready to get rid of my stock michelins (that are now for sale http://www.g2ic.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16705 . wow, these tires are great, excellent handling, and superb ride quality for a 50 series tire. Kumho rates these tires as treadwear 340, temp A, and traction AA (yea, AA, i just found out this is a new standard). This is an excellent tire, i’d recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable tire, with good performance.
