#26105, "Ok lets settle the score about KUMHO tires"


          

Alright today i recieved my rims in the mail with KUMHO ECSTA 711's. I was wondering what people think of them? Ive been reading reviews on them and there are 20 saying they love them and 2 that say they are the worst tires ever made. Those 2 negative reviews raided my eyebrows.

Very quick tire wear, but they grip pretty good. I had them before.

They do grip really good, but wear down quick. I did have 2 that got a bubble on the side.

I've been using them for the last two years and I love them.

Don't work for the system, Let the system work for you.

really sticky for the money, I paid 94 a piece for my last set and the only tires i had that came close to equaling the money vs grip was a bf goodrich that ran around 130 a piece. Like said above though they do wear quickly. I got about 20k out of my last set.

I had 712's on my car for about 2 years. Nothing bad to say about them cause they were good for the money. I have seen other Kuhmo's have bubbles on the sidewalls, but I think that may be due to, too low of a profile and hitting potholes.

I wouldnt buy them again, JUST BECAUSE I never buy the same tires twice. Other than that, I have no complaints with the 712's at least.

I also had 712's and I liked them. I had to replace my 2 rear tires after about 3 months, but that is what happens when you do a full drop with skunk2's and no camber kit
