Alrighty guys...need new rubber all around. i was lookin at kumho ecsta tires.....i want 225/45's and im rockin 17 inches of rim....so is this tire good, not too pricy tires.

 

i got falken azenis st-115s they are pretty good, check tire rack for reviews for the kumho's

 

i heard it was a great tire, my bro had em on his car and really liked em. pretty sticky and good wear.

 

I had them on my a4 and I loved them. They were great on water and dry pavement. Not so good in the snow though

 

Hey, I have them on my 17's right now as we speak. Yeah deffinently have to have different tires for the winter but in regular weather they are great, I feel like I grip to everything. Its a very sporty tire I think.

I actually have 225/45/17 Yakahoma AVS ES100's for sale which are brand new(50 miles on them). Let me know.

 

I agree with the idea to check out tirerack for the reviews. Give them a call. Honestly, they are some of the most helpful guys around. They don't rush you, know everything about their products (many of the guys have tested the products in the Tirerack test facility and test track themselves), and they're really cool guys, too. ---> 888-541-1777

 

I've been in the market for summer tires (those Kuhmos are on my short-list) and the guy I talked to at Tirerack wasn't helpful at all. Basically just told me what I already knew, and of course recommended the most expensive one on the list.

SlowB5, I'm in the same boat as you, looking for some 17 summer rubber. You looking at the Ecsta SPT (ultra-high performance) or the Exsta MX (Max perf). I've looking at the Ecsta SPT, the Avon Techs, or the Fuzions.

I'm gonna talk to a different guy at tirerack Monday

 

well..i just recently bought some tires for my audi. I went with NITTO extreme 555 on my 18in wheels....i luv them and ride smooth!

 

haha, in all my time in this forum...never have any members been so helpful. thanks guys. and my good man vitaliko, you have mail.

so the ecsta is a good tire?? we'll see what vitaliko has to offer.
