Couple of our local boys have used them on an STS Civic a few times, one of them is a two time STS natl champ . Still to early to say how good they are, I don't think they have raised the bar for ST tires, but they are certainly as fast as the other stuff on the market right now - and far better than the previous Kumho. No idea on how they will work on a heavy car, or how they deal with heat.

the dunlops works pretty decent with the Z. I use the azenis, but they get greasy too easy here in tx. (but can't beat the price). for that money on a kumho I hope the grip level be at least in the RE01 or AD07 range.
