Default Kumho Ecsta Spt!!! Fn-a!

I bought two 285/40/17's because they were dirt cheap($121 each)from the TireRack. I expected to get no traction, but a nice wide rear footprint. Planned on replacing them later when I could afford a better "name brand" tire. I am astounded These tires have impressed the hell outa me! They handle, they hook, and they look badass! If anyone is considering these, I would highly recommend them. I think Ive found 'my tire'.

I just got a set for the front. I'll have to see how I like them. Was never impressed really with the Kumho 712's, but I am poor college kid so I do with what I can.

These should be decently better than the 712.

I'm thinking of trying these. Currently My Kumho MX have been good about 22k with 220 treadwear. Been good tires.

yes, they are better than the 712's....I have ran both on my GF's car. Those SPT's are a decent tire for the price.
