    OMG, having round tires is sweet! The old ones about bounced me off the road at 65mph.
    The DZ101s are ok. I find them a little questionable in the rain. Not scary, just keeps you honest. They scrub when pushed in corners, then speak when they are about to let go. They are great for everyday, but I think the S-drives are a little better all around. Like those above, I want to try the new BFGs.

    FWIW, my biggest gripe about Kumhos are how loud they get as they age.

    They can't be much worse then the Kumho Ecsta's he bought. I am constantly getting slightly squiggly in the rain. Not too bad though, but like you said it will keep you honest.

    Falken Ziex ZE512's in 195/60-14

    Good all around tires. Im stupid and haven't aligned the car yet. Fronts are down to the chords (Due to Toe-in probably)

    Debating Flipping the tires, or ordering a pair of Azenis, like I've always wanted... Gonna get an alignment soon too.

    Hopefully the RT615K in 195/60-14 should be good in the rain. My car has been pretty prone to hydro planing lately :s

    S drives have been extremely fantastic and for the price I payed I could not for any more. Great on the tail of the dragon. I think I payed 320 and got a 100 rebate

    205 50 15 615k's and they SUCK ! RE-11's going on this week. The 615's are not too bad in the rain but when they get hot they get very greasy. They have a tendency to heat cycle out long before the tread wears out.

    Update : my new RE 11's are on. I have two words for them .......HOLY SHIT ! I Love these tires.
