    I would not reccomend them over ANY tire, after all their are better performance tires out their, just visit www.sccaforums.com to hear them debate the issue. But they are a great tires and they offer a performance to the buck ratio that's hard to match. Go ahead and buy them, lots of people use them and are very happy, I wouldn't think twice. Unless your pickie,...like me OH, all this doesn't matter if your talking about 712's that aren't ZR or WR speed rated, if not, their not as sticky.

    cum hos as i like to call them suck. well i shouldnt say suck, but they are not the greatest tire. if you want a good low pro tire that is affordable go with Falken. check out there website at www.falkentire.com plus they come with a 50, 000 km warranty which is rare for a low pro tire.

    yea, youre right there are better performance tires out there but i reccomend them over any other tires, because they are good quality tires at a very cheap price. on the other hand those "better" performance tire are gonna cost you hella dinero $$$...but hey if you got the cash lying around go for it...

    cum-ho's are awesome bang for the buck, however, soft tires aren't exactly very economical in terms of treadlife. Anyways I like mine fine, very grippy and they ride nice
