How many miles are you hoping to get?

I've run through 3 sets of Kuhmos in my life and haven't liked any of them. The MXs were the best, but after a track day and couple auto-Xs they got really hard.

For the money, my favorite tire so far has been Yokohama AVS sports, but I never heated them up the way I did the Kuhmos, so I can't really make a fair comparison. I'm not sure if they're available any more anyway.

I have been REALLY impressed with the RE050s I have now. They perform on par with the S02s I had before, but are better in the rain and last almost twice as long. They're still not a good wet weather tire though. I think I will continue to run RE050s on my stock wheels. My ultimate vote would go to these. The only thing to keep in mind with them is that their tread width is slightly narrower at any given tire size than most, so go a size wider when ordering them. The only bone I have with these tires, is that compared to the other tires I run right now, they let go very fast.... almost as bad as R compounds.

I have Continental ContiSport 3s on my HREs and again, I'm very impressed with them. They're not as grippy as the RE050, but they're great in the rain and VERY predictable. They're by far the easiest tire I've run to drive hard. They're 10/10th limit is a little lower, but they're FAR easier to drive 9/10s than anything else I've run. If these are available in the size you want, they would be a great choice as well.
