New Cheap Tires.

So It's time for me to order knew tires and I was wondering if these khumo estas ( not sure on the spelling) were a good buy for 110 a tire. So if anyone has them tell me what you think or if you know of a better tire that is the same price or better let me know.

Thanks
Jason

I have Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires in 225/40/18 and love them.
Think I paid 108 per tire had them for bout 2000 miles and look like the day I got them.
The car has more traction (harder to spin in first) and great cornering capability.
Great buy!

uhhh i think they're good, just have a shitty tread rating(Wear out quick) if it's the ones i'm thinking of, and that's why they're so cheap.

i was looking at them on tiretrack.com, and read some of the reviews and it seems to me they are better in wet conditions then dry lol. i would get them though, they seem good.

I run 225/35/19 Naknang Ultrasport NS-II's on my Axis Mods.

Yeah, shitty tires. Like $130 for a 19" tire.

i had kuhmo ecsta 712's i believe, and they sucked at launching, but were pretty good in the corner. I heard SPT's are better though.

I was looking at the Kumho's last week when I was looking for new tires. Check out Toyo they've got a rebate $80 rebate right now (in Canada at least).
