Kumho Ecstas SPT on the way.

I'll have a set of these installed Monday. Hopefully, they last me a while and are nice and sticky. Those of you that have them, are they better than the stockers? How long have they lasted you? Size I am getting is 225/45/18. Local shop is installing them for $550 out the door.

I Love mine, i put my fronts on last June and they still have tread. I have all 4 wheels wrapped in these. They grip good. I bet you payed like 100 per tire. But anyways they are good.

I love mine, I paid like $400 for the tires off tirerack.com and then I paid like $120 to get them mounted and balanced. They are way better then the stockers by far, especially for the price. Nobody around here wanted to take a chance at mounting them since I had 18s and the tire was a low profile. I got the same size too btw and they fit and look awsome!

later

Drove with them on in good rain last night. Definitely have to say BIG difference over stock. They felt much better/safer on the wet roads!

I just changed from those. They didn't seem to me to grip any beter than the p-zero but they did last a bit longer. Now I'm on BFG supersports and these grip like crazy.
