Reply to "Tell me again why I need to replace my ten year old tires when they have perfectly good treads on them :)"

Probably right about the 'aging' agent added to the rubber compound. It's probably what we perceive as the new tire smell. It's actually the rubber decomposing.

I must admit that the Kumho tire pattern looks a little wierd to me too, with it's 'more aggressive pattern' and two deep rain channels but I am used to the Pirelli P7 and PZero patterns. Also, the way I had the Kumho tire set on the side by side pic is actually reversed. Instead of a directional arrow on the tire, it's labelled 'inside' and 'outside'.

I got all four tires mounted today and hopefully get a chance to take it for a test drive this Sunday.
