damn, that sucks. they get very good reviews for snow traction. i had considered dropping the coin on them
I originally bought the hankooks, but after holding onto my money for a 3 weeks discount tire direct decided they couldnt get me the tires so Im back to square one.
looks like im going with these. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Road+Venture+AT+KL78&partnum=67SR8KL78OWL">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Road+Venture+AT+KL78&partnum=67SR8KL78OWL</a><!-- m -->
siping looks good and tread design looks similar to the blizzaks i had for my miata, so they should be good in the snow (without having to go dedicated snow tire)
