So I just got my new tires (old ones were bald as all nothin').
I went for the Kumho 712s. Several tire shops told me that the 711s were discontinued and would be about the same price as the 712s. So I went with them, $540 mounted and balanced with road hazard and I put them on myself (no monkey at JustTires is getting near my wheels with an impact gun!
)
So the first impressions is that they are no stickier than the 711s. But they are overall quieter and, although I haven't driven in the rain yet, they look to be a better wet weather tire. We're about to get a palmetto pounder, so I shall report...
