I used to have kumho 712's on my GSR and and they weren't all that bad, Traction wasn't the greatest though esp. in the rain. They are definitely a good tire for the price though. Now i have Toyo Proxes and love them........

i just got some 712's on the front to see if i liked them. so far so good. they seem to grip pretty good and i have had no problems in the rain. i had toyo proxes fz-4's that were supposed to be all season and the 712's are 10 times better in the rain. for the money you cant go wrong. if you dont mind spending more money go with the avs es100's or s03's.
has anyone tried the goodyear f1 gs-d3's yet??

I have the AVS Sports - excellent! Hard to break free in the rain. Check on the availability of the ES100's there was a two month wait a few months ago.

Kuhmo's you need to constantly check pressures - but good tire.

Amen..........
