Rich,

Yeah, save for these tires as they are very impressive! Now i can see why many folks hate the Kumho tires. Don't get me wrong, on HOT days and warm rubber the K's are good, but for folks like me the PS2 are a far better match for driving/road conditions.

Sounds to me like your GTi will be one hellova fun ride :) As you know, there will ALWAYS be something to upgrade no matter how much work you do on her. Be happy it is GTi priced and not Fcar priced(!).


>>>The custom Kinesis wheels must have cost you.... have heard very good things about their wheels.<<<

As i said, be happy your tweaks are GTi priced and not... And yes, the rims are amazing. Got the enamel Ferrari center caps today. The stock OEM ones are crap plastic that after only a year or so looked like crap! Enamel last and lasts baby :)


>>>How is the break away on the PS-2???<<<

Have not done too much sliding, yet seems relatively slow and predictable. Of course ANY tire can be 'forced' to break away fast due to improper driving technique (or due to wanting a fast u-turn :) ). As for during very aggressive (and car properly balanced) turns, when reaching the pure grip limit and past they break away predictably and slower than the Kumhos. The K tires would also be predictable and all, but would lose grip (slide more) overall.

Wish you were here this week as the weather is gonna be awesome, the leaves are changing, and the roads are fun. Would be happy to show you a few of my fave twisties :)
