What makes it a good tire? The tire compound is hard as a rock and the damn thing has too many grooves in it. Sure its quiet good wet traction and last forever but dry grip on the damn things SUCK. It has better wet traction than dry traction. The damn things never warm up because of the symmetrical tread design and I went from a yokohama avs intermediate (god I miss that tire) and going from the avs to the kumho all my max cornering speeds dropped 7-10 mph. The first week I had the kumhos on I must have pissed my pants about 12 times. Im telling you compared to anything with a 200 treadwear the kumho has as much grip as a turd. Look into the falken azenis heard much praise about more grip from those things over the cumHO I mean kumho.
