Who's got em? Any opinions/reviews? They are selling at a pretty good value. I'm looking for info on Kuhmo ECSTA Supra 712 tires. Thanks in advance.


It's still a G thang!!

 

Originally on my Honda I had 4 Nitto 450. Once those wore out I replaced them with the Kuhmo 712 (205/40/17) and have barely noticed a difference. I also recently replaced the rear 2 tires on my 330ci (245/40/17) with the Kuhmo 712 as well. I haven't noticed a difference in road noise or performance...and I drive my cars pretty hard at times. IMO it is a good value since they are considerably cheaper than similar tires. I haven't really paid attention to the tread life but I think they have a slightly lower tread wear rating.
They have also been pretty solid as far as blowouts.

THe Ecsta 712s are copies of the Michelin Pilot Sport. They tend to get noisy after about 6000 miles. They have a stiff sidewall as well. I like them until they start to whine and it gets really bad. The price is great but you can't keep them on your car for very long. I had them on my 911 and my Galant. Both had 16's on them. Try them... they're cheap and they may get you by until you find a tire you love-Michelin.
Its hard to beat Michelin they are the best all around tire but expensive. Try the tirerack for reviews of all the tires they sell.
