I have to buy new tires before August in 205/45-16. Going by nsxtasy's recommendation I was considering the Kumho Ecsta SPT, but I don't see them on the Tire Rack site. I saw some other sizes were on closeout. Are they getting rid of this tire?

 

I cant imagine, its a new tire as of 2 years ago. Its done really well for them too.

 

I just bought a brand new set from discount tire less than 2 weeks ago. Given that mine were 205/50/15. go http://www.discounttire.com or for cheaper go to http://www.discounttiredirect.com

 

here i just found some for you, http://www.discounttiredirect....ar=45

 

Yeah I did see them there, I just thought it odd that the 205/45-16 size wasn't shown on the Tire Rack site, and several other sizes it listed as being on Closeout status.

 

Not sure if you've seen this: Click

the es100 is a pretty good alternative

I've been through 3 sets of ES100's, and they're a little more expensive and VERY loud when they wear down. nsxtasy recommended I try the SPT's as a little quieter alternative. I don't race my car anymore so I don't need the highest performance tire, either.

 

blah, my SPT's are a year old w/ 16K on them, and they are loud as FAWK!!!! I even have 150 s.f. of eDead butyl rubber sound deadening throughout the car!
