Are these tires decent for street driving with occaisonal track use? Or should I go with the Falken Azenis?

 

from what I've heard, the ecsta don't have a stiff sidewall...I have the Azenis and am very happy w/ them...I'd choose them again too

 

All depends on wear:
I have the Kumho's and they will probably last upto 2+yrs of aggressive street driving (no track days or autocrosses)

The Falkens are a "stickier" tire and will probably last half the time, but will perform better.

I like the Kumho because of wear resistance, great wet traction, and low price. I have used these tires on a wet track day and they performed good. I do not use these tires to autocross and would not recommend it. I rather use the Falken's for autocross. (P.S. => I have R compound tires for autocross.)

I use Kumho 712's for daily driving. Great wet traction and that's what I need from a daily driver.
I use OE RE-010 for autoX.

If I were you, mount 712's on stock rims, then pick up some lighter rims and put Azenis, RE010 or whatever and run autoX with it.

 

I run 712s on the street. Traction has been good going from the oem potenzas for me, but you have to keep the pressures up at around 38f/37r, anything lower and there is lots of squealage/loss of traction.

Beautiful in the wet. Absolutely marvelous...

 

Yeah I agree with Cosworth........Supra 712's are great for wet and street conditions. I am happy with mine

 

I like them...you can't beat the price
