WE3RX7 is on a distinguished road
The Kumho V710 slicks were good, but their street tires fall apart IMHO after about 5-10K of hard driving. They lose their wet traction too after little driving, I'm not sure if its the compound or what, but for the price - cant beat 'em. I've probably used the Ecsta Supras at least twice in the past on other cars.

I just feel that Falkens provide better overall grip (wet and dry) for the same amount of $.

Neither Falken or Kumho are known to be long lasting tires in the "high performance" category when dealing w/ sidewalls below 55.
