Default Kumho MX Release Date

Does anybody know the date (or approximate date) that Kumho is set to release their new MX high-performance tire?

If it's anything like the Ectsa V700's maybe a year and a half from now, half joking - half serious. Kumho's terrible about meeting their introduction dates!!! We were promised the new V700 two seasons agon, then last season again and it finally arrived in September. I wouldn't hinge my tire purchase decision on any date they publish!

very interesting how they rated these as just below competition tyres (right about ultra high performance)


yshi - who'd like to do a back-to-back azenis vs ms test

at the rate my tires are going, I'll be ready for some new ones about the same time that the MX is released... I'll be more than happy to do a Azenis vs MX test for ya'

edit: btw, my bet is still going to be on the Azenis b/c they have mammoth tread blocks for the dry but I think the MX will be better in the rain.

I emailed them about 2 weeks ago and this is the offical response at that time.

We're trying to release the tire in early April. The price will be about 25% more than the 712.
So figure about $72-$78 for a 205/50-15, still not a bad price if it's a top preformer.
