NEW TIRES!

[kimona]

Installed Kumho Ecsta 4XII's on my new wheels.

I've had 2 sets of the previous model, Kumho Ecsta 4X, and I liked them a lot.

The new Kumho Ecsta 4XII is better; whisper quiet, smooth and comfortable! On the highway, straight line tracking, so virtually no high speed wander. Great steering response. It's like driving a different car... a better car.

Didn't throw it into any corners, so can't comment on that yet, but the previous model tyre was excellent, and these are supposed to be better.

For the price, these tyres are a good choice. I was fortunate to buy the Kumho Ecsta 4XII's during the recent big sale at discounttiredirect for a total of $138.44 delivered.

I've also had both as my winter daily tires, and for wet autoX below 10°C. They are probably the best 15" tires available for those roles. And the price is great. Can't say I noticed any difference between the two though. I'd say the 4X may have had better turn-in.

Cheers.
