How are the Kumhos holding up? I read some good reviews and some bad ones
on them so I'm skeptical.

Is the sidewall fairly stiff so that it'll hold up to autocross usage and
general all around street abuse? I like to pretend I drive a sports car
sometimes. ;-)

I was eyeballin some 275/50 and 275/55 sizes but was worried about
clearances, the 275 width tire will fit okay?
