I'm an Engineer and I know how to perform a proper DOE (Design Of Experiement). They didn't even come close to an acceptable one by my standards.

The only thing they proved is
1.) Kuhmo XS means business and will work on a LIGHT FWD car just as good as the RE-11

2.) Dunlop is retarded for not coming out with a 205/50/15. I said the same thing about RE-01R when they had only a 195/55/15 as well.

3.) yet another tire giant (Dunlop) chooses to not build a 205/50/15 so this must mean something.. . 205/50/15s are not a popular size when considering the car industry as a whole. The older cars are fading away. Focus is more on 17" sizes as we now see more Sport tires coming in more sizes. Or the marketing person just f'd up.. .
