Kuhmo Ecsta Mx's
 

i was wondering if anybody has any experience with this tire? do u think it would be able to hook as good as maybe some nittos on the street?

I have then . . . no experience comparing to a Nitto, nice tire for the money, kind of hard though. I can spin the living day lights out of mine, but they are also 18" diameter.

NO. The Nitto NT555 Extreme Radial (not the drag radial!) will hook better.

Go ahead, ask me how I know.......

I almost went with the Ecsta MX. But I bought the KDW2s instead. Not that much more money and have better dry and wet traction.

mx's are more of a autox tire not a drag tire. they have a stiff sidewall. the mx is a great handling tire for the price

thanks guys! i know the nittos are one of the better all around drag radial street tire. i was just wondering if there was another tire that would hook just as good as the nittos but still be safer to drive in during wet weather?

i have had both the drags and regular 555 street tires. the rehular nittos where on my old lx mustang that was a strong car and they hooked realy good for a street tire.if your looking for a good street tire go with the nitto's. the drags are good for the street also. i run them on my camaro and they hook even if there cold.i even got stuck in rain with them and i was in a parking lot and i was trying to spin them and they still hooked lol.both nittos are a good tire.

? i have had shitty luck with nittos cold.. really horrible.. however when the pavements hot theyre pretty decent.. but trying to spin in the rain should be capable with any tire.

Ive got both of those sets of tires for mine nittos in 275-60-15 and the kumo's in 275 & 285 -17. The nittos hook better when warm for me but the kumo's kill in the corners.
