Default I have always run those tires and just ordered another set as I think...
they are amazing on the street, however, if you drive agressively a lot you will wear through them fast, which I suppose is the trade off for a grippy $97 tire.

Default Disposable parts. Yeah, I might be doing the same. Good grip, but noisy. I wonder how they wear?

Default I feel like the kumho MX had slightly more dry grip than my GSD3s I have right now.
But for everything else, eagle f1 GSD3 owns!
