Kumho Ecsta XS - 205/50R15

I bought these primarily for autocrossing. UTQG rating of 180 AA/A

damn if they don't look soft and ready to grab the road. Nice pick

kngrsll · 04-09-2009, 12:27 AM

i havent heard anything about them yet, they look good though...

LtNoogie · 04-09-2009, 02:07 AM

Kumho designed them to be "Falken killers".

I just wanted to be different and be one of the first to run these tires.

Keep us updated on those. I've wanted to try a set.

I may buy a set of those too. Definitely keep us posted!

Those look really cool, Kumho seems to be making decent tires lately. I've owned two sets (ASX's and Solus KR21's) and really liked them both.

Interesting. Will be watching this thread for updates. Thanks for sharing.

Nice ! What tires were you running before / what were your times ? I'd like to see how many seconds the new kuhmos will knock off your auto X times . DAMN 180 thread wear FTW !
