I did. We went out today to turn a few laps. Turned out to be a good day with just a sprinkle in the morning. The Kumhos worked well. I ran 1:55s consistently all day with 1:55.17 on them as my best (my best on NT01s was a 1:57.06). The Kumhos are a good tire and should be good for about 3 days, maaaaaybe 4. The balance of the car changed compared to the NT01s I was running so I struggled with it a bit in the first session but made the adjustments to the shocks for the second run. I'm still trying to figure out tire pressure. From what I can tell, the Kumhos like softer pressure than the NT01, 32 hot front and rear seemed pretty good. One thing is for sure, my current spring rates are waaay too soft for this set up as the suspension felt a bit squishy and I'm having to run the shock compression pretty high to compensate. Not ideal. I already have new springs that I'll be swapping in next week. That should help. All in all, I was quite pleased with the performance of the Kumhos. Not quite the bang for the buck of the Nittos but the performance is there.
