I've had these on my 9000 for about 20k, only as 3 season tires. Great grip, both wet and dry, a little touchy straight line, though that might mean I need the toe-in checked. The outside shoulders on the front pair started to wear noticeably after the first 3-4k miles.
The biggest drawback to these tires is road noise. Tire noise starting last summer, and getting really bad this season, So bad at low speeds that I thought my bearings were shot and my front discs were warped!
Now I'm begining to think they might be out of round, as some others have reported. Not sure how I'd check that though.
I think next time I'll shop another brand, or maybe a different flavor of Kumho.
