Does anyone have an opinion on the Kuhmo ECSTA XS? They were designed to be "Falken killers" and priced similarly to the Falken RT615s.

We have alot of guys using Kuhmo at the VCMC events here in BC. Kumho is one of their sponsors and alot of the guys there have V710's, very sticky.
I have a set in the garage. :)

The Ecsta XS tires are ok. But you may really want to try R-comps and considering you have the SC you're in a category that's already pretty tough as it is. Tires will help alot. Do you have the suspension to match this?
You'll want to get the suspension done up.

Unless you want to stay in street class try the Kumhos. Otherwise, once you've gone into R-comps. It's hard to go back.
