Kuhmo Tires Just wanted to say I got some Kuhmo Ecsta 712s for my 99 Z28 and they are great!
I had GSCs before and these tires are every bit as good but are much cheaper! I was a little hesitant when I ordered them because I love the look of the GSCs and I wanted them to look cool... They look great and the ride is excellent.
I definitely recommend these to anyone.. Got them for about $380 shipped from tirerack.com.

Re: Kuhmo Tires I got 2 Ecstas for the front of my WS6 and they seem to be decent. I am thinking about buying a full set for my SS, but I may just go with fronts too and get drag radials for the rear. Right mow I am running my 26x10.5x16 ET STREETS on the rear. Seems to be the only way to get traction in the SS!

Re: Kuhmo Tires Kuhmos are great for the summer. But in cold weather they don't grip at all. I see some of you live in warm climates so you don't have to worry about anything. I was really happy with them in the summer too, but hated them in the winter.

Re: Kuhmo Tires Kumho Ecsta 712's are good tires, better than GSC's, cheap as dirt, and last a long time. The MX's are the badasses though, as far as a non-drag radial tire goes, they grip pretty awesome, and they're not expensive for the grip you get. I work at Discount Tire, and a bunch of my co-workers run them, that's the way to tell what tires are good, what the managers run on their cars.

Re: Kuhmo Tires
ya i run the 712's and ecstas on the rear. hooks up decent, but can still spin them at a 30 punch. but if you're sort on cash, best bang for the buck

Re: Kuhmo Tires
I've got them as well. Im sure they wont grip as well as a $250/each set of goodyears, but for the price, I won't complain!
