New Tires!!!

[ats at longcoeur.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

Yes I have had a Set of Khumo's 712 on my rocco, then got yokohama 472 and
just did not like how "loose" they felt, so I exchanged them back for the
khumo's again... 

In heavy water they will feel slightly jittery, especially if you have like
I 205-50's on your car. But on dry, it takes a lot to make them squeal from
a start (talking about 15x7 wheels here too) and to loose grip in dry
weather in a curve, for the price, they are realy decent tires that get
decent mileage, my last set got close to 60K on them, before I changed them.

I had a set of Khumo Ecsta Supra 712's.  They handled really well.  I never
got them to brake loose, well except on grass when I missed a corner in the
early morning when it was dark.  I must have been day dreaming.  I did find
them extremly noisy during the end of their life.  They lasted me about 3
summers.  I'm currently trying to find a size in the new ASX's  to try out.
They got much better reviews.
