I used to have some Kumho Estas. There good tires for performance but they only last about 30,000 miles.

I've currently got 245/45r17 on the rear of mine.
Kumho ecsta 712's. They blow. They're a z-rated tire with a 30k mile warranty. That should tell you that they're not the stickiest tires.

I'm going to move my 245's up front and put a set of 275 dot drags on the back. Kumho's spin way too easy.

Kumhos? <IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0"></P>


I think we've talked about how much we hate these before Horatio... I couldn't have said it better myself. I have the exact same tires (16's) on my car. I hate 'em.... I can't wait until I have to buy tires. That is the first time I have ever said that in my life! Well, I said it onanother post about Kumho's... so that's twice now. </P><edited><editID>karma279</editID><editDate>38012.987037037</editDate></edited>
