What did the Car and Driver test say about the MX again? I can't recall.

How is it that everyone likes them but car and driver said they suck?
What car did they test them on? Do they not work well on camber-challenged cars?

Dry: Yoko, BFG, MI, Good, Bridge, Hank, Pir, Kum, Dun, Cont, Toy.
Wet: Good, Cont, Bridge, MI, Yoko, Dun, Pir, Toy, Hank, BFG, Kum.
Overall: Good, Yoko, Hank, Cont, MI, Bridge, Pir, Dun, BFG, Kum, Toy.
I don't remember exactly what C&D said about the Kumhos, but I'm pretty sure they got lambasted for their wet performance.

Since I don't drive in the rain, I am not concerned about the wet performance.

had em on my prelude and will probably get them again when the time comes for the S. for the price, i don't think you can get better performance. the only gripe i had about it compared to my old yokohamas is that the yokos would whine once i started to reach the limit, while the mx's were absolutely quiet.

Jim,
I have my02, to go with the Kumho MX, I would have to go with 245/45/16 (as opposed to the oem 225/50/16), correct? What alternate size would you recommend since they don't come in this size?
For everyone, how would these compare to the oem s-02? Also, is it a problem to have different tires rear to front. My front s-02 are still good and only need to change the rears. Will it be a problem at all?
thanks all.
