Default Anyone have Kumho ECSTA 711??

Just wondering how decent they are and if they are worth even buying. I can get them for 57 bucks. When i go to the track ill have ET's so i dont need them to hook up. If not those tires what do you recomend for something cheap.


Thanks
Ryan

I have them on mine and i love them. they are great street tires. I got them b/c a buddy said he pulled a 1.9 short time on them.. that sold me.. then another buddy pulled a 1.88 short time w/ 2.73 gears w/ those tires! So far, they are the best street tires iv had on the car.

I have not had a prob with them other than i cant get them to hook but looks like DANSBIRD has seen it happen so maybe it will work. If i could get them as cheap as you are i would do it to.

They are a great tire. My buddy runs them, and those things HOOK good for a DOT street tire. I was suprised. They hook damn near as good as 275/40 Nittos.

A+ in my book

I have pulled 1.78 60 fts. on 245/50R16 Kuhmo 712's before. I have had some 711's on the Saleen I used to own....I though they were great tires for the price.
