I highly recommend that you check out the Kumho tire you are inquiring about at TireRack.com. They have very good reviews and I consider it a must visit site before selecting tires.
Tires are expensive and a bad tire on a good car makes for a bad driving experience.

The re-11 may be a good tire but it's also a bit of overkill for a dd tire. I mean a r comp pure slick may be a great summer tire and have awesome grip but will you really notice it driving down 101?. I would say you don't need an re-11 unless you are actually going to track otherwise you will never see it shine and will just wear out quick for no noticeable enhancement.
