Kumho Ecsta ASX
Kumho Ecsta ASX Just ordered some 275/40/17 Kumho Ecsta ASX. They had a really nice rating and I really didn't want nittos for all the street driving I do. Everyone says that they are good tires. SO anybody have any complaints about these?
i had a set of kuhmo asx's on my old mustang, i liked them, they wear down pretty fast if your spinning them, and after i got rid of it the kid i traded the mustang to was being retarded n we were going 80 in the rain n then into a 540 then backwords across the median stopping on the shoulder, good dry tires? yes good rain tires? not horrible, but not the best, i would recomend them, because o plan on getting a set for the trans am. hope that helps you out some.

Love these tires. Great price for a great tire. They were my last set that was on the Camaro, just got a set put on the G/F's Grand am, And will be going on the Camaro again when I get aftermarket wheels.
Ok so I just got them delivered today and they look good. Wow I didn't realize how big these tires are. I shouldn't have any fiting issues should I? I god I hope not lol. Btw I am stock ride height and everything. ALSO these are going on 17x9.5 Z06 Motorsports with the rivets.

I've got those, 275 / 40 /17 upfront and 285 / 40 / 17 in the rear. Got rid of the nitto's. one of my reasons is that they handle rain very well and can rain real heavy quite often here in FL. Price had a little to do with but they reviewed well and also I cannot rotate anymore either. I have driven these in hard rain and I personally feel they handle even better than F1's and I have had over 10 sets including GSC's and that is a wad of $$$. We'll see how long they last now that I cannot rotate. SS gets aligned every 4 months regardless of miles.

I had those on the car when I first got it, it would blow them off all the way through 1st and kick it sideways shifting into second and still keep spinnin 
When I got my Z06's I kept the kumhos up front and put some 555R's out back, much better 
Hell the car once chirped them at 60. They are a good rain tire but suck ***** for racing.
