I've got some kumho ecsta 712, they rule. Wups the hell out of the stock michelin XGT on my 2k tibby. I've haven't used the falkens but I like kumho's because their
1.korean (whole korean racing theme)
2.Look great
3.Cheap so you can drive hard and not worry

Ps. get them at www.tirerack.com for about $60 each, with $30 shipping on all four! Great smile.gif

just my 2c

 

How do the Ecsta 712's handle in the rain? just as good as the stock michelins?

 

I personally think they handle better. of course michelin's got the name behind them, but even if the michelin's were cheaper, I still think the kumho's handle better in wet and dry than the XGT's. i've heard that they suck on ice, but then again, I'm in GA smile.gif

 

I have a set of the Ecsta 712's they handel great in the rain. I live in Indiana and in May and June it likes to rain alot so I have drove in the rain plenty of times with them. Great grip and no hydro planing.

 

i have kumho's stock on my sephia and i like them. they are a lil sqeaky when cold but when they are warmed up they are nice and hold very well on corners and such. in the rain, they are one of the best tires i've ridden on--very stable. i don't know if its the tires or the car itself but i get a very good road feel--comparable to more expensive cars like mazda and bmw.

 

plugboy, what rims are you getting in the package, and from where???

 

I love my Kumho Ecasta 712s from April to October here in Wisconsin; however, they don't handle well in the cold or snow/ice. I put 75k on the stock tires and even after that many miles they still handled much better on snow than the Ecasta. Great in the rain though!

 

Im getting ADR phase 2 with Kumho 205/40/17's
I wanted the ADR turismo's but they were discontinued......

 

how much would the Falken grB's cost for 205/50/15?? just wondering...because i haven't seen them for sale anywhere, but my friend has them on his focus (ughhh..)
