Doubt it? It's a totally different tire.

Maybe Goodyear fixed all the problems you had with FK451s when they made the new Wingfoot HPs.

Wait, were you driving them daily or autox/track use? Dave is going to be pimping his Audi daily...

on my daily driven ms6 i'm running the kuhmo asx they are all season tires and I'm very impressed w/ the lack of road noise. They have a treadware rating of 420. They perform great in both wet and dry conditions and also handled a couple of inches of snow in nj.

those have gotten great reviews as well. I used to have Kumho 712's on my prelude and I had a bunch of issues with the sidewalls getting bubbles in them. Any issues with that on yours?

NONE. I love these tires. My stock tires wore out before i got to 10k. Ask ritz about how well they grip. I can launch my car and still get no wheel spin. Not saying much (little hp and awd) but im impressed. And to top it off they are cheap.

I had Nitto 450's on my Prelude, and had 555's on my Audi. nice handling tire, and a great looking tire, but were absolutely positively TERRIBLE in the rain. I sorta expected to have less than perfect results with a Hi performance summer tire in the rain, but the 450's were down right dangerous and the 555's were only marginally better.

Anyway. I bit the bullet and bought the Kumho ASX. Two of them arrived today and two will be here friday. I put them on today and gave the car a nice fresh alignment with the new coilovers and I am more than pleased. They gripped great in the rain today even when the rear end with the NIttos was sliding all over the place.

I also cannot say enough about the Koni coilovers. They were definitely worth every penny.
