New Tires

look at this

245/50HR16 Kumho ECSTA 711

In Stock $56.00 $224.00

are they any good or should i go for something else? i need new tires bad and i'm looking for the cheapest deal that i can find i can get 4 cooper GTH for $446.00 and a shop in this little *** town i live in that is everything mounting and balancing and i think i'm gettin punked somewhere so i'm looking for alternet prices online and that's what i found so i can just take the tires to like wal-mart or something and get them mounted and everything for cheap what do you guy's think?

If ur on a budget, sounds like a good plan

Becareful at Wal-Mart though... if u can, watch them when they install the tires and mount the rims..

A friend of mine had a bad experience with them and tire mounting..

A local Big 'O Tire would be great.. or something along those lines..

Wal-Mart would probably do a decent job, I'm just speakin' to my own experience (well.. my friend's...), so by all means.. give them a shot, they'll probably do it just fine.

i own the 711 they have really good traction for the price a AA rating. the only thing i don't like is the thin sidewall and rocks getting suck in the grooves but desides that there awesome.
