Come drive Salmon Falls road with me! There are a few off camber corners that I can make the S03 squeal like little girls there. And those hair pins on hwy49 - perfect for testing (when there are no cars going 5mph in front of you, that is ...)

I was considering the Falkens in that size, but I wanted a daily driver tire too that could handle severe rain at times The Khumo MX's are also equaly sticky from what ive read, albiet with softer sidewalls, and last a little longer. So the trade off wasnt that much, plus I got wider tires

And I am running on KYB AGX's with Ground Control Coilover springs, close as you can get to a coilover system without having a full fledged system

bemani: I do plan on hitting mosquito ridge again soon, but I need to move back into my house this weekend first

Congrats Steve, your tires must have been on the same UPS truck as mine. I love them but maybe I should have gone with the 225's instead of the 215's like you. I'll try them for the next set when I wear these out!
