I want some input on these tires. Anyone got any positive or negatives about these tires?

Okay I do have these on the rears. I think that they are better tires in the rain than the OEM ones, though, the OEM versions perform way better on the dry.

There is a bit more sidewall flex but I dont get to autoX the car, so it doesnt really bother me at all.

If you are looking for an economical replacement tire, then this is fine. It has decent traction and water displacement properties and tire wear is decent. If you need a performance tire, then this would not be the first choice. RE-11's or Sports would be the better option.

The kumho SPT is in the same price range as the Hankook v12 tires. But the kumho has a higher tread life and is a tad cheaper. I guess it's not a popular tire for us Z owners.
