They are decent tires as far as performance, but like many said.. pretty noisy IMO. The tire noise was not bad when new but after about 5-6k miles, the noise became excessive and very annoying. For its price, you can get much better tires.

+1 on you got RIPPED OFF.

I got them on my car and they are good tires.
But if i have to choose again i wouldn't go for it because of their price.
Nitto Invo or Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta would be some good tires too.

Is it me or the stock Kumho ecstas sound like jet engines?

What would be a good replacement tire for the 19" Forged Oem rims??

Thanks

well you not gonna buy a new car every time you need new tires are you?
A set should run you somewhere around $1200 and I consider it expensive when I can get a much better tire for a little more then a half of that.

and as far as the grip. Toyo don't come close to Vredestein (in wet or dry)

Is this price Canadian or American?

I have TOYO T1Rs on my Volks, 245/35R19 and 275/35R19. They are good tires. Especially expensive in Canada unless you go to the right place... (Tire World in Brampton)

I had the T1r's on the stock 19's, and also on my 19's in the maxima. i loved them, but like others said they are too much $$ i am running falken 452's now and they are also great, but i think the T1R's might have been a bit better on in wet traction.

My next tire will be th Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta.

I too have them on my Volks and I agree that they are very expensive. I have never tried Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. These will be my next purchase.

FYI Vredestein filed for bankrupcy last month...

I would check the stock piles of retailers if you want these.
