I have the Kumho ECSTA ASX 205/55/15 on my car for 2k miles now and these tires are very good. They work in the rain as good as any rain tire I have used. Low noise, good ride and handle nicely. Good buy.:thumbsup:

i have kumho's on my s2000! they are great for the price, and they have lasted me for a good bit. I will buy them for the yaris when I get some new wheels.

Kumho are great and very cheap tires. If you want some other great and cheap tires, take a look to :

- Nankang UltraSport NS-II (AWESOME!!!)
- Federal SS-595
- Wanli tires (no particular model)

i had a set of kumho 712's and they were OK. nothing to rave about. they got noisy after about 15k miles. i'd rather spend an extra $50 for some better tires.

went with bfg g-force sports for my new rims. lovin em.

I never was a Kumho fan, I used to sway people away from them because they are a low end tire, well at least ecsta line is low end, as well as there 732's and 756 Power stars... all low end economy stuff I would never put on my car.

I disagree, While they do produce low end tires, the make some great all season and max performance tires. I've had 2 sets of Ecsta 712s on 2 different cars, and 2 sets of MXs on 2 different cars. They have all been very good, and I have gotten decent life out of them.

I put a set of ASXs on my moms RSX and she has been very satisfied, and have recommended their mid-high end tires to friends all with positive results.

I've never run their low end stuff, but everything else is a solid product.

I put Kumho Ecsta Asx's on my old 03 Jetta. I liked them and would definitely recommend them, they are a very good all season tire with an excellent price tag.

I had a set of Ecsta supras on my old corolla... Exelent performance tire for the money.

not really applicable to the yaris but to the brand.. just read Kumho is the first manufacturer to produce 32" rubber.
