The X tires were put in my wife's 2001 Honda Civic and the difference was immediate. It felt like a new car. Road noise dropped DRAMATICALLY, handling improved GREATLY, cuts through water like nothing AND a very deep tread.
They're a little expensive though.
Total was $438.00 at BJ's with 'free' lifetime rotation and replacement (75K max on the tire)if they were to fail.
Overall, a fantastic tire. Highly recommended.

I think its pretty hard to say that unless you have had both on your vehicle.
I have driven the kr21's on a 2003 ford taurus.. they seem like a good all around average tire. The ohio winter didnt seem too bad either while not a snow tire I've had offbrand tires that were much much worse.
I had the x-radials on a 2002 sunfire and they seemed to be pretty much the same.. average in every way decent in winter.

My situation was that I went to Costco for the Michelin X's. There was a wait so I went across the street to Discount Tire. I bought the Kumho's because there was no wait and they were cheaper. At 33,000 miles the Kumho's are showing serious wear.

What size on the sunfire? 15s< I'm guessing?
