I've ordered from them about 12 times now and everytime they come they're straight from the assembly untouched, well packaged, well delivered and right to the door in a matter of days. Kumhos are $20 off per tire as compared to other brands. So for every pair I save $40 and I get great quality backed by popularity, BMW's and Porsches use these tires.

I ordered these Kumho SPT's YESTERDAY and they show up TODAY. So now I can drive to Florida on Monday as planned.

That's great HKC, i have some Kumho Ecsta ASX. I've liked them till now. Before i bought these i could do burn outs and with these i can only get a chirp out of them. tongue.gif

Have a nice trip to Florida.

they always come strapped together in pairs haha so yeah it's tilted. you will notice the mirror photo from my webcam. but these are the latest Kumhos the SPT's. They're excellent tires and hella cheap!

thanks LN!!! i have ASX's up front. they're excellent in the snow and grip very well! i tried so hard to lose traction going 60 in 4th gear on a really tight corner and it was impossible. i LOVE ASX's they're by far the best tire i've ever been on even over ecsta 711 and MX when i had them on all fours. i'll take some beautiful beach photos... i know i promised babes but i'll have to bring a zoom lens next time...

215/40/17 $81 per tire and they're great quality, even quiet on the highway.

i have kuhmo's on my benz too and i dont recommend them on icy roads. from a scale from 1 to 5 i'll give it zero. owned.gif i had no traction at all and braking was worse. if i gave a lil gas the car would go sideways, of course is fun when theres no other car on the road but when youre in the middle of traffic is kinda scary.
