You guys are right....I just put these Michelins on yesterday.
On my last set of tires for my old WRX, I bought some Kumho's because they were cheap ($100/tire) and they tested out #1 in a comparison test by Tire Rack. I figured they must be pretty good if TR says they are. Well, they sucked ***. I had one blow out on me after a couple of months, and neither the installer or Kumho would give me a new tire...heck, Kumho never even responded to my emails. On top of that, they wore really bad. Even though I had (-) toe with my suspension setup, they wore unevenly much more quickly than all my previous sets of tires. So, never again will I purchase Kumho tires.
I have had Michelins are both cars and trucks and they gave me great performance and decent wear on my cars, and awesome wear on my trucks. So I'm going with what I know....that Michelin tires are some of the best.
