    I also didnt like my Khumo Ecsta MXs when they were new. I had just come from some nicely worn azenis. It took a few hundred miles of slipping and sliding before they really started gripping.

    I spun out (an event that a few here might remember ) on "fresh" Azenis 215's, even though I drove nearly 300 miles on them before the drive to try to break them in.

    Great... got my Kumho's today... hopefully I'll get them scrubbed in before Saturday. I took a "spirited" drive up to the barn tonight on some nice twisting country roads and they seemed to have good grip...

    I do believe I led that drive. I seem to remember AJ and maybe Dallas having problems too.
