Just beware, those Kuhmo Ecstas wear down VERY fast, at least in my experience. They have great traction for about 15,000 miles, and it's all downhill from there. By 20,000 they were almost bald.


Just for future reference, the Kumho Ecsta ASX tires do not wear prematurely. I did tons of interstate driving as well as fast curvy road driving to get the front tires to wear out in 30,000 miles. The rears are still in really good shape. On another note, I run the Kumho Ecsta 711 on my TBird, and I've had the same tires on it for almost two years. They still look brand new. The only way that I'd run another tire is if it was an excellent tire and it was given to me.

Im running Generals...stock size. Crap traction in dry weather prepares me for crap traction in the wet. But theyre cheap! lol

PS- They actually do pretty good in the snow though.
