Looks like my Pilots (in the rear) are done... I have noticed lots of comments on Kumho's vs Pilots. I did some searching on archives and Tire rack info pages, but I'm not sure if I should stay with the Pilots or not.

To clarify couple of things, the Kumho Exsta V700 seems to be "competition" type tire, are you running it on street? Does Kumho make a "street" tire? The V700 is DOT approved, but agressive compound.
What would be the + or - for Pilots or Kumho's?

I am driving reasonably agressively, but not racing (well at least not all the time...
My 1 year old Pilots gave almost 10.000 miles, which is fine with me. Front ones are 60-70% there. Rears are 10% left, if even that?
So, who is driving Kumho's on street? Do you like them and should I expect 2000-3000 miles out of them, or less?

They will make your car handle much better, just stay out of the gravel and off dirty roads. They pick up stuff when hot.The traction is amazing and the price is good.I don't know how long they will last.
