Nope, the ones on the left are my brothers vredestein sessantas...VERY good tires...the ones on the right are toyo TQ drag radials that will be going on my beast when it lays down 600 hp lol

This is what the kumhos look like.




If your looking for an awesome street tire I would say try the sessantas out if you cant get the xs's.

My brothers lasted like 50k miles and he gets great traction with them
