    Hi guys,
    Kind of desperate for 2 new rear tyres (Stuck on a space saver yipee), local tyre fitter said he'll have 2 Kumho's in tomorrow. I don't know what particular types so can't get a proper online review.

    Does anyone know, in general, do they make decent tyres? I'm not after mad quality ones, just one's that won't kill me. Or do they manuf. both crappy and brilliant tyres?

    The DO make tyres for Rallye cars, so they should know what they're doing.

    I had Kumho Ecsta tyres on my Sporting years ago, they were decent enough, but not as grippy as the Pirellis that replaced them.

    NO, NO, NO.

    I have Kumho Ecsta fitted to my mondeo tdci, and they're useless pieces of
    sh1te.
    Noisy, uncomfortable, gripless crap. Front wheels spin consistantly when pulling away from a junction in wet conditions, under moderate acceleration.

    They were newly fitted when I bought the car, and Im changing them asap.


    Dont insult your BMW by putting these on.

    I have 4 kumho ecstas on my S320, I'd agree with the previous post about being noisy but overall not that bad and cheap enough.

    Two new Kumho's will surely be better than two sh1te old ones. :eek:

    What are you wasting your time posting on here for? :confused:

    Go put them on the car and keep yourself alive to post next week. :cool:
