Message	the kumho xs. I had a set of 265/45/16 kumho xs on rear of my Z. In order to achieve optimum grip on the xs you have to get the tire to over 200 degrees and if you drive on a cool day say below 65, the tires turn to stone. They did have excellent cornering ability, but the RE-11 is an all around superstar.
