Mine's not a 4mo but I've really enjoyed the Michelin Arctic Alpin - bought a set in 195/65/15 on stock steelies - they're ugly compared to the alloys but they got me through the worst (and I mean WORST) New Jersey has to offer.

Pros: got me through worst

Cons: whine a bit on wet roads

As for the Kuhmo 712 it is a great, cheap tire for dry and rain conditions but in the bigger sizes that I have experience with (i.e. 225/45ZR17) they stunk in the snow.

Pros: great tire, cheap

Cons: stunk in the snow

It's been raining non stop since yesterday and here are my first impression on the Kuhmos: * They are very quiet on wet roads and expressways. * Off the line are way grippier than the Proxes. Under hard take offs in wet roads the Proxes spun a lot more than these Kuhmos. * The Kuhmos grip better on wet curves, tracking is excellent.

Pros: very quiet, grippier than Proxes
