Default Thanks Brad! I have them on my car now! Just got them today.

That was your Tire Rack review that refers to the 712s as recession busters, right?

Yep, I have been super happy w/them. $93 each is a steal.

Default I have mixed feeling on mine - they just don't seem to be

quite as responsive as my pilots. They are wearing well though and for the money - were a good deal. I guess I expected too much from them.

The Pilots may be a bit better, but more $ as well. If $ was no object, I might look elsewhere.

Pilots or Bridgstone S01s. However, these are nearly double the price.

Default Yeah - I hear you on the price issue - I guess it will depend on how long these last

The price is certainly unbeatable.

Default I noticed some things about them tonight that got my attention.

The Pilots really grabbed the road and changed direction with authority. I'm noticing some skip and roll with the 712s. Maybe it's because the rubber on the Kumhos is still new and has to be scrubbed a little.

That said, they look great and the price was really unbeatable.

You might play w/the air pressure &amp; see if helps. I run 38/33.
