Kumho Ecsta XS

Anyone tried these?

Hoping they are a cheaper alternative to RE01-R or Dunlop Z1 for same performance.

Do you have the Ecsta XS or some other Kumho Ecsta? There are many different tires in the Ecsta model line and I'd be a little shocked if you got the XS for $100 each, unless you're talking about a car other than the RX-8.

Okay... so im not asking about SPTs... im asking about XS, which is supposed to be a MUCH higher level of tire. Please delete posts not on topic so that if we ever get good information in here that is isn't hidden.

Aren't they supposed to be the replacement for the MX?

Its winter here, so no new tires for me for the next few months anyways. These tires are fairly new so I wouldn't expect too many to have them yet.

i looked at them but ended up getting the dunlop star specs as they were a know reviewed tire..

btw, i have owned kumhos for the last ~15 years..

the price was a wash..

btw, you might check with louis at champion motorsports. he is a local.. his price was very, very good.

and how come no call about your brake stuff?

beers
