Can't help you with the braking question. I am running Kumho Ecsta 711s in 205/55VR15 on my '87 9000T though, and find them excellent. Lots of grip wet or dry, excellent steering response. The only thing I really find them lacking in is noise level, which is a bit higher than newer tires (this model is I think about 8 years old). But for $57 each (and no shipping), who's complaining? Too early to tell about tread life, but treadwear rating is 320 on the V rated.. The Ecsta Supra 712 is supposed to be everything the 711 is, but better in the rain, smoother and quieter, and slightly longer treadlife. All for just a little bit more money.
