Default Opinions on Kumho Ecsta XS tires
I did a search and could not locate too much information on these tires. Does anyone run them. What type of mileage can I plan on getting out of them.

I am considering them. Looking at them, Proxes R1-R, and Nitto NT-05. I would not expect stellar treadwear giving their design intent. I would suspect that 20K would be the outside of their range.

My friend had them on his bolt on m6 01 z28. He always recommends by them.

I'm currently using those tires. They're really sticky, but I can't comment on their longevity since I rarely drive my car.
