Kumho ECSTA KH11 reviews?

Can anyone provide some feedback on these tires? Kumho makes these in 235/50/17, but they are 96V, not W.

Re: Kumho ECSTA KH11 reviews?

According to reviews on tirerack.com, they're better than the Bridgestone Turanza EL42's that come on some of the G35's (including mine) which are also V-rated. I wouldn't worry about the W-rating unless you want a serious performance tire, as a V-rating can handle 149mph. Plus they're supposed to last longer and cost half as much. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S is also supposed to be really good, and it's an actual Performance tire instead of a touring tire (blend of performance and comfort) like the Turanza or KH11, but it's on the high end of the price scale.

No personal experience with them yet, I'm still running on my original Bridgestones. I guess it depends on what you're looking for... less expensive? more comfortable ride? better handling at any cost? longer tire life? ability to tackle light snow? Decisions, decisions....
