I think this is the successor to the Kumho "EuroMetric". I have a
set of the EuroMetric in 165-15 on Dayton 4.5" 60-spoke wheels with
inner tube. Worked out just fine. Picked up a three autocross
trophies at VTR and in Canada. The tire seems at home on a stock 60s
car. I think you are unlikely to go wrong with the Kumho Power Star
75. I also got them from Tire Rack.
I'd buy Kumho again. I used their stickies on my departed Lotus (Hi
Rob!) and still have their touring tires on my Saturn. I did pass on
the Kumho MX for my autocrossing Miata, though. Not worried about
Kumho quality, I just think that the Falken Azenis RT615 seems like
the fastest "ST-type" autocross tire.
