I noticed the weight as well and it raised some concern. By comparison, ultra high performance autocross tires weight in the low to mid 20's.

I contacted Kuhmo and for comparison BFGoodrich. The weights listed are correct for the Kuhmo. Contributing factors accoring to them are:

"Much wider tread arc width, plus the addition of two full nylon cap plies, and wider steel belts to go along with the wider tread."

A 275/60-15 BFGoodrich radial TA weighs in at 34.3 lbs. 2.6 pound difference. Personally, not enough to sway my choice. Neither of these tires are true performance tires. Just looking for a better cruising tire.

According to Kuhmo the dock strike will delay the arrival of the 255's until perhaps January. 10 day strike, 6 week delay. Go figure!

There are a couple of 345's out there but I can not imagine those fitting plus they are an inch shorter than my current setup of 275/50 and my car already sits to low. So they are out for me.

Has any one run the drag radials, BFGoodrich or Nitto, through the 'twisties'? How do they handle.

Also, what are the pros and cons of Hoosier TD's from Rodger Krause? How long do they last?
