Kumho tires

Anyone try the Kumho ECSTA tires? I saw them on tire rack. The reviews from other drivers was very good. I didn't see any SRT responses though.

good bang for the buck like most korean things - but not the greatest tire, like most korean things

They did make some wicked R compound tires for auto-crossing though, but I haven't looked at em several years to know if they are still any good...

I run them on my Mustang, I think they are 275-35-18's, and they have perfomed well. On the Stang I have typically gotten about 25K miles on a set.

I had Kumho Ecstas on my SS Camaro and they were the best that I ran on it. I went through Goodyears and Michelins like nothing, but the Kumhos were the best.

I had a several sets of the Ecstas on my Nissan Maxima. I had them in 17s and 19s. Overal a very nice tire, but not sure if they have every size.

You want Toyo Proxes 4s. Accept no substitute. I have Khumos on my wife's car and had them on my old one, but the Toyos blow me away on the SRT.

Ditto...Kumhos on my SS ran better than the GY's.
