I like the P6's alot (for a all season) but I would never spend the money on them. I am just looking for a tire that will last 50k and will handle better then my P6's. Do you think the kuhmos will be better then the stock P6's?

i'm sort of guessing but yea i think the kumhos should be comparable to the stock p6.. i have tried the kumho 712 on a focus and the pirelli p6 on an audi so it isn't quite apples to apples

are you thinking of using those kumhos all yr long? you should think about 2 sets of tires. its a bit of a pain at first but after you switch you won't ever go back.. and the overall cost isn't that much either since you are on long wearing winter tires nov-march and you end up throwing your summer tires away at a much lower tread than all seasons so you kinda get more use out of them anyway..

i use kumho mx or azenis rt615 in the summer and no name brand tires in the winter.. the cheapness of the winter tires helps offset the slightly higher cost of the summer tires

EDIT: 28mm sway bar.... i bet the car feels more sporty to you because it rotates quickly but i bet if you went to a more reasonable size (ie smaller) bar you would find your times would drop.. i think you might be at the point where the size is hurting not helping you.... especially in the rear world with bumpy roads you would find you can gas it sooner and the car keeps the line better in a bumpy corner.. but anyway.. sorry i couldn't help but give that unsolicited advice..
