Default Anyone running Kumho ecsta ast tires?

One of my tires blew out last weekend. They are old and need to be replaced anyways. lol I ordered a set of kuhmo ecsta ast's. I'll get dr's for the rears soon. Those of you that have these kumho's, do you like them? I know they are not much money. Thought I'd give them a try.

Do they have any hook to them? I know they aren't a dr, but want some traction. lol

I had to get a set of make do tires and got the Kumho ecasta ast's. They are pretty decent in the rain. They are "ok" for driving.

I hate them.

Worst tires for dry traction my car has ever had on it. Worse then the orginal Eagle GSC's worst then the Eagle F1's on SS rims that replaced the GSC's.

I wouldn't buy again, unless I didn't have a choice.

My 99 T/A has mod's listed below but I don't think I would have like these tires when my car was a bolt on car.

Toyo Proxy might be worth a look. I like them on my 3rd Gen.
