Default Opinion on these tires.....

Kumho Ecsta XS KU36 Tire- 315/35R17 102W BW

I am looking to put these tires on my TA. It is only a weekend/spring and summer driven car. I will be running 315/35/17 rear and 275/40/17 front. Are these tires good or not worth the money? I don't race or anything. All I have done to the car is full bolt ons and true duals. Thanks!!

Personally, not a fan of Kumho's.

I would recommend the Nitto 555's (the non-drag radial tire). These have almost double the tread life of the Kumho's you're looking at and they're also cheaper. I got mine for $199 each from WS6store.com, that was with free shipping and tax free (out of state).

I have the Kumho XS's in 265/45r16. They are great in the summer but in cold weather(<45°F) it's almost like driving on ice.
