Kumho tires? Are they decent? I just ordered a set of Kumho Ecsta SPT's in a 275-40 R17 for my Z-28 but was curious as to how these tires do as far as handling and tread life. I usually run BFG's with good results but decided to try something different just to see how they compare. Has anyone ran these tires before? What's everyones opinion on them?

I just put new tires on Friday and ended up narrowing it down between bfgs and michelins. Ended up with the michelin mostly because the bfgs I was going with are on national backorder...

they got a big head and over priced them. They charge to much for what ya get now. They used to be the cheapest out but now they are not! I would get some sumitomo's and save your $ I have ran both and i like all 3 of the different kinds of sumitomo's i have tried more then kumo's!

Don't care for them, had 2 blow outs in my lexus. I think the car is to heavy for them, it split the side wall on both tires on the inside where you couldn't see it.
