I picked up a set of Kumhos for my daily driver
Pontiac a few months ago.  Good tires overall--nice
ride, decent handling (not nearly as good as the
Bridgestones that were on there, but also half the
price).  They seem a little softer than the
Bridgestones (less direct handling).
I have no idea how they handle in the rain....mabye by
the time christmas rolls around we'll get some rain
here and then I'll know for sure.
