Lets put it this way. If tire 1 is say 9.0 out of 10 and tire 2 is 8.0 out of 10, i'm going with tire 2. I don't care how good they are, if they look gay i'm not putting them on. If you're gonna be a d*ck about it, it's professional. One "f". I want something that's good even when it's raining out or wet. Jesus....such a negative bunch lately.
Nobody was being a dick, no need to start whining. There are far too many people these days that make purchases based on form over function. They don't care how well something works, don't care how cheap or crappy the product is, and could care less if it's just a waste of money. Form over function is the theme lately, which is what my post was derived from. If your willing to trade tread wear, traction, handling, etc... for a tread pattern that looks "cool" but the tire doesn't perform as well as another that is similar in price...then your no exception to that statement. There is no being a ******** about it, I was suggesting to read some reviews to get a better bang for your buck...an educated decision performance wise. Take it or leave it, there is no need to whine about it or make pathetic attempts to justify your purchase decision.

As far as the forum goes, I completely agree. Although, it's not that people are being ******...it's that the forum is plaged with nonsense questions about gears, which car is faster, photo shoots, and questions that are so basic it's rediculous. It gets aggrevating sorting through the BS posts trying to find one that can spark an intelligent conversation. So, take a deep breath, relax...and think about how cool everyone's going to think you look with a cool tread pattern on your tires.

I love how you try to be obnoxious in a subtle way.

This guy is telling you to stop whining while he whines in the same post about sifting through threads trying to find inteligent conversation. I guess others should take the same advice and take a deep breath.

what does everyone think of the kumho ecsta mx's? i had their 712's and they only lasted like 20k. i got thier cheapos on my stang now (came that way). the tread pattern looks aggresive but then again, kumho is a cheap tire company.
