So who's going to be trying out the new Kumho Ecsta MX tires?
From what I've been told, they're supposed to be compareable to the Azenis both in price and performance...
here's the blurb from Kumhousa's site: ( http://www.kumhousa.com/pages/pcr/mx.htm )
The Ecsta MX optimizes dry handling without compromising wet grip with advanced silica compounding and a distinctive tread pattern developed by synergizing the latest technological concepts from competition and aircraft technology. The Ecsta MX is best suited for the sophisticated driver that demands maximum ultra high performance for the street.
Special Features
Advanced Silica tread compounding for superior wet & dry traction and handling.
Large lateral and center channels provide maximum water evacuation.
Advanced directional tread design for superior acceleration, braking and cornering.
Durable nylon cap plyies give high speed stability and resistance to centrifugal forces.
Two wide steel belts provide excellent cornering power and stable footprint.
Rim Protector in the lower sidewall safeguards wheel against scratches and abrasions.

I called TireRack and asked them about the MXs and they said they should be in around July and approx. 86 dollars for the 205/50-15
At least it is another option, possibly a better one to run on 6" wide wheels?

$86 vs. ~$65 for Azenis. I think I'd pass if I had 15"ers.
The MX also comes in very brilliant 16" sizes..... 205/55 and 225/50.
Yet, they make the ever popular ghetto 215/35/18 and 225/40/18.
