Default Kumho Ecsta 711 discontinued

So I got a bubble on one of my tires that I had put on last September. Seems my tire is discontinued. So I am getting two new tires up front (instead of one odd one). Going with the new Cooper Zeon 2XS. $118 each at Direct Tire (Massachusetts chain). I hope they dance a little less than the Kumhos. Will let you know how they perform.

Too bad the 711's are junk anyway. It was confirmed by a friend of mine who has 711's on his car, and we swapped rims for mine w/ Yok AVS ES100's, and he couldn't stop saying how much better they were than the 711's. He didn't want to give them back.
