Kumho ECSTA SPT how about them, little cheap, worth spending couple more bucks on the others, yes i know these tires are not very nice like the p zero, just cant afford those right now, wish i could

 

Um, they are good tires for what they cost. I just ordered a set of them for my new back rims... i got the MX's 235-45-17 for $107. They are cheap tires, but are a performance/speed rated tire. Some of the local SRT's are running them in the back, so they are proven tires. I wouldnt recommend them for the front though, they wouldnt be the best for traction.

 

I have 225/45/18 in the spts. I like em alot. Its a good tire for the money. Id like to try the mx's tho

 

how come i should not put them on the front, i think these would grip better than the p zero, since you cant even launch in the p zero at all

 

Get the SPT's if you're looking for a decent tire. The MX's suck per all my buddies. They don't hook worth a damn.

 

wow really and less money for them, thanks anybody else

 

the spts do hook pretty well for the money. I can drop the hammer in 1st and shift hard into second and I get the tiniest bit of chirp.

 

ok guess i am getting those tires then

 

get 35s intead of 40s man, theyll look soo much sweeter.

 

hmmm too small side for me, if i change size, i am thinking about going 235 just worried about rubbing

 

Don't get Khumos and don't get a 35 profile. Get a 40 profile and get Falken Tires. Way better. Here.
$107.00 each.

i dont know i dont think they are worth 88 bucks more for 4 vs. the kumho, they kinda almost look the same, right... and what does this mean "Rotation Wear Indicators (R.W.I.) " the kumho are rotation tires? good or bad

 

Bro those Khumos, wich are garbage no matter what they "look" like, are $97.00 each.
The Falkens are $107.00 each. Where did 88 bucks come from?
The bigest mistake in buying tires is buying them because they "look" good.
Khumos are garbage. That's all I can tell you. I wouldn't steer anyone hear wrong.

 

I don't know about that. My friend owns a tire shop and let me ride around on the Kumho's a month ago. They felt good. Gripped good. Looked good. I am probably going to buy them. No vibrations and a much higher tread wear rating.

 

88 bucks more if i buy 4 total which i need, i am not buying cause of looks, i heard they were alright tires

 

It's a $10.00 difference. 10x4= $40
Either way good luck with your purchase.

 

I like mine, had them on the car for like 8 months and tread still looks good and grips like day 1. SPTs

 

i was looking at 85 dollar tires kumho spt, you gave me ones for 107, 107 - 85 = 22 x 4= 88 dollars, but thanks on the falken tires, still debating, thanks again

 

hmmm how do you drive too, ever take them to track

 

I used to run the MX's and then switched to a falken tire...what a mistake. The MX has great grip and less tread flex than the Falken pictured on the first page. You'll also find that if you're into cornering, the MX will stick real strong especially since the tread on the shoulder of the tire are big blocks which again reduces flex.

The problem that most people have with the MX tire is they don't know how to drive smoothly (not pointing fingers here, I've just seen it happen on the auto-x track). The MX can take loads of force as long as its not a "sudden" force like ripping the wheel to one side while slamming ont he brakes. If you knwo how to control the tire and the grip, they are one of the best tires out there. The Falkens that I'm running now have a margin on its limits so when you're hitting it you'll hear or feel the car slide a bit while still hanging on while the MX, once you hit that limit, its gone.

I think the question isn't about price really but how do you drive and what are you using it for? The only Falken tire I'd consider at this point is the 615's which are pure auto-x / road race tires and completely SUCK in the rain...which is why I dont have them...yet.


ps. this post wasn't meant to harm, offend, dismember or otherwise make cry any other member on this board. If it has, my sincerest apologies.

 

I havent been to the track yet. I didnt buy them with the track in mind seeing as how the tires are going to be on the street 99% of the time and like 1% on the track and I drive pretty spirited sometimes. The cornering is great too. I can hit side to side with the steering wheel pretty good and it just grips the pavement.

I have sportlines too so Im not sure how much of a difference.

 

awwwwww i dont know what to get MX or SPT, should of make this into poll

 

Id like to try the MX but sence I own and use the spts I know how good they are so im afriad of change hehe.
