Kumho Tires

Anyone ever tried these tires? I currently have the Kumho ASX (285 40 17) all the way around. Looking for something that will last a while!

I run Kumhos ECSTA Supra 712 and by far one of the best tires for the money, so I bet those are some good tires.

the SPT's are even better than the 712's...
I had both the 712's and SPT's on my gf's TA bac to back and the SPT's hooked TONS better and also handled better.

I have a buddy with Kumhos on his '95 Firehawk. He seemed to be pretty happy with them.

I run them, and I have no complaints. Mine have almost 35k miles one them, and I"m only now looking at replacing them.

(I do all highway driving though)

I've had good luck with Kumhos also. I have the ASX's on right now and my only complaint is that they get kinda loud as they wear down. They ride nice and handle pretty good for the price. I'll run them again.
