replacement tires

so it has come time for me to replace the pirellis, but im really not feeling the $200 a corner, so i think i am going with the Kumho Ecsta SPT 214/45/18s. anybody use these yet? and if you have replaced your tires with anything yet what do you think.

I would go with the Pirelli P-Zero Nero before the Ecsta.

I would not use Kumhos... they have decent traction but they have horrible ride quality and wear. Maybe a decent Falken or Bridgestone ? or as codyss said... maybe a P-Zero Nero ?

Nitto NT 555 Extreme Tires are very good overall quality

Click Here

These are also as good Yokohama ADVAN Neova

Click Here

These tires are slightly bigger then the stockers P225/45/R18 but they fit and work well..

Just some other options. I am getting the Nitto's next Spring.

I have owned kumhos before with my 3kgt now I have to be honest they had a decent ride quality and the traction was very good BUT the wear OMG the wear ... I ran those things into the ground in about 8 months and I never over inflated the tires

I will probably go with the Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S. I had those on my Trans Am and they were a decent all around tire and were fairly cheap (well they were cheap for being 275/35/18's anyways).
