Well, I was a bit skeptical about how good the Kuhmo Ecsta 712's really were for the money, but my fears are gone. They handle terrifically, low road noise and the car still rides pretty smooth over the bumps. Now all I need to do is get the car sorted properly, anyone know any good shops in the NY metro area?


Thanks
Dan

 

What size are you running? 205/50, or 195/50

 

The 205/50's

Had that size for my Dunlops too.

Do you want a shop in the city or outside of it? I don't know what part of NY you are from.

Cool digs on the tires dude.

 

Kumho's are the best!
I have 205/50/16's....they ride great!!
205's barely cut it though. Sometimes it rubs the fender wall especially too with them being 50's....but my friend told me not to get 40's cause the ride was really rough and you could feel a lot a little bumps!

I don't think they were expensive(Dan)......how much did your pay for yours?

 

I paid $315 shipped and $65 to mount and balance them.
I love'em. Thanks Loco---Good advice

Dan

 

205-40-17's are some smooth s%^t let me tell you . nitto/ toyo whatever

 

Check out some falken azenis. They are pretty cheap as the kumho's and have a very stiff side wall.

 

how?? the tire is soooo thin!! alot of pressure

 

Just got them two weeks ago, 205/40/17...thought about getting 215s but didn't want to bother with extra rubbing...50s are probably better off for you guys driving around in NY...here in Pittsburgh...40s are just fine. First good Korean product I've bought...

 

Hopefully Ill be getting mine mounted on my new rims today so Im happy to hear that they are good tires.

 

Are these tires suitable for all-season or are they stricly good-weather performance tires?

 

tire rack lists them as a summer tire, apparently they're pretty good in rain. i'll be getting some soon.
