Anyone have Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 Tires??
Anyone have Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 Tires? (255-50-16) If so, i need a review on them. I'm thinking of getting them for my back tires. I really like the design and the tread with is pretty wide for 255's. But, I am not sure about the treadwear on them. Thanks for your help.

These are very good tires for the price ($86 thru tirerack and you can get them in two days). I have these on my '94, although only for 1200 miles so far, but traction is better than the Bridgestone Potenza RE71s I replaced.

I've had them for about 6 months now and love them unless it's snowing. There's a reason there's no snow rating for them on their website, that's because they suck slush. Other than that, they are a lot better than the Cooper SS's that I took off.

Very happy with mine. Wet weather conditions are good...they hook up pretty well...Only had them for like 5,000 miles but i hear they should get around 30,000 on them.

Man, my friend just bought some for his new 18 inch rims and two of them have blown the sidewalls out...i think they're 235/35/18s so that may have something to do with it. I'll just stick with my GSCs.

I replaced all four of my GSC's with them (285 40 17) and they are much better IMO. Plus they cost about half of the price of the GSC. Another great tire for the price are the BFG GForce KDWS.
