I've got experiences with V700s and 712s and I love them, but I've never used those two particular tires before. If they are the same type of quality as the other tires, they should be ok.

I recently bought the 712's, they seem to be pretty good. Not very loud, stick pretty well. Although i can only compare these to my stock RE92's. I did my research and they seemed best for the money and performace. My other chioce would have been the S03 or the Pradas, they were a little more than what i wanted to spend on my first set of performance tires.

Not the 712's there a summer tire. I don't think they make a winter tire. I could be wrong but i think Kumho is a division of Hankook :dunno:

ive got some khumos. 255-35-18 . they are great tires for they price and you wont find a better bang for buck. they are horrible for drag racing ( this could be because the sidewall is only about and inch and a half) they stick great in the corners and feel great on deerfoot on/off ramps:burnout:

I can sell them to you for the same price. I'm guessing they will charge you tire tax as well which means I will be saving you $16.00 :D

According to some winter tyre tests I read in the evening papers, "Marketing alone does not make a good winter tyre" when they reviewed Kumho. Thumbs down.
