Hello Everyone,

Anyone using the Kuhmo Ecsta LX Platinum as OEM tire replacement? How does it compare to the OEM tire and Goodyear F1 AS?

How about the Yoko Advan sport, anyone using this as a OEM replacement?

It is almost time for me to replace my tires and I want to stick with the stagger setup :-) Trying to find tires that would last longer than the OEM.

Thanks for any feedback, they are much appreciated.

 

I was thinking the same, I just bought sumitumo HRZ III and really like them so far (250 miles) but taking them off since I decided to get rims this weekend

 

Ps I had the eagle F1s and liked more than OEM but sumotumos the best... f1 lasted as long as oem for me

 

sorry to hijack, what rims ya getting Kul?

 

I can agree with KulG35, Sumotumos HRZ III was the best investment on my G, especially compared to though crappy Bridgestones. Smoother, less rode noise, cheap, Handle a lot better ( Maybe becuase I went wider).

 

selling my sumotomos if you want? pretty much brand new

 

top secret! LOL, I'm getting a set of Work's

 

What size are your Sumitumo's?

 

awesome, can't wait to see them!

 

Fronts 225/45ZR18
Rears 245/45ZR18

 

I'll take the rears if whoever you were initially offering these to decides he doesn't want them. PM a price if your willing to ship. thanks

I just bought the Kuhmo Ecsta LX Platinum from tirerack and so far the tires are pretty good. They're not noisy and handle well but I only have about 400 miles on them so far. But I read alot of reviews on them and everyone loves them and for the price you cant beat them. I paid around $670 for the same setup as you, shipped to my door.

 

and the shops messed up installing them, had to bring back to them many times because they either mismatched the tires on my staggered rims or they got the inside and outside reversed. also make sure you have them "road force" balanced as I've found these to give shimmies if they're balanced in low cost shops.
