In a corner, I couldn't get it to plow more if I painted it John Deere green and drove through a corn field. Stopping is only adequate due to the shear size of the tire vs. weight of the car. My previous 225/50/15" Bridgestone Potenza RE71 on stock alloys were far superior in every quality.
I guess the Kumhos have a cool tread pattern though :rolleyes:
Nice ride and very cool pics once again John! 
LOL. Thanks Brad.
You see, I think they're decent because I was coming from 16" wheels, and BFG VR4s, which, um, aren't exactly 'performance' tires.
Again, for the money, I won't complain as I couldn't afford anything else at the time. I'll be buying something different next time just to try it out. Nitto 450s are my choice as of now.
Not sure if I like sidemarkers or not. If I get any, they'll be pretty damn small.
Eric, NC doens't require front plates. Thank God. Contour + front plate = FUGLY.
