None here, the Continentals I run hook up well in all conditions and Discount Tire had no problem putting them on.

Still sitting at 318 miles...time to change that! Hopefully nice enough out to get car over to the shop. Has anyone had any issues with 325's in the rear?

I have 325 Michelin PS2's in the rear and have no issue's, you'll be fine!

Schlock,

Do you have any pics of your car with the conti dw's you can post? I have run those before on another car with great success and am contemplating those for street use.

For track I am running Nitto nt01's. They are not as sticky as the Trofeos but let go at the limit more progressively. After 2 track days I can tell they will last much longer than the Trofeos. I only got six track days out of the Trofeos but set my fastest lap times on them. I understand why GM and Mclaren picked them for their track specials.

Thanks. Looks good. it appears the conti dw 325 fills out the rear nicely.

I daily drive the re-11s. Drove the car in high-30s temp, they did fine. Did a track day yesterday at Lime Rock on the re-11s. Cold day , 40 degrees at most. Dry, cold track. The tires did fine..I recommend them for daily drive and early season track days.

Trofeos come out of cellar when New England weather gets better..if ever!

Have a set of PSS on my SS, fine on street, but greasy after a few laps on hot track days.

These Kuhmos are cheap and seems of great quality. Same pattern of the current Viper ACR but more streetable and deeper thread depth.

Robbie1227 · 04-10-2016, 08:44 AM

That's a serious looking Kumho tire!
What series of Kumho is it, so I can look them up?

That is on a 19x10.5" Apex EC-7 rim, 305-30-19. I also have Nitto NT01 on 19x11" Apex PS-7. I just put these wheels on my car today and shocking to say these tires are freaking sick. The structural build keeps the car flat with a very compliant ride that soaks up road imperfections yet feels firm and supportive. Feels like we have a winner from Kuhmo or any tire for that matter. I think I will use these instead of Nitto NT01s in the future since these make the car feel more cart like and more athletic. These tires shocked the heck out of me and the price around $263 can't be beat. What a value. These are very similar or should I say the street version of the Viper ACR designated tire with more thread depth but I strongly believe the same structure. I honestly believe this tire is what's responsible for the Viper sick a$$ handling along with the track tuned Bilsteins. My car came alive in a way I never felt when I installed these. WOW.
