I liked the tires, mine on my CL were bubble magnets from potholes..... BUT...they were low pro tires, so I attribute the problem to the lack of rubber... if you're going with a stock setup, you should be fine, but replace all 4. They are not too expensive to do it.

Got them on mine not as pleased as some they don't stick as well as other tires, especially in the rain, but value they are #1. I think I might change, I will have gone through 6 kumho's in about 4k miles. I destroyed the fronts on my first set, peeling out... But seriously they break loose very easily in the rain with anything less than 85% of the tread left, and that is not even getting above 3k rpms.

Hmmmm. I had them for over 30000 miles and they were quiet and competent the entire time.

Granted, they were not as sticky as the Potenze RE730s or the Kumho MXs I have on now, but they were great for the price.

Also, I thought those tires handled magnificently in the wet.

The Kumho Mxs are superior in all ways to the 712s and are only about 30$ per tire more.
