Well yesterday I ordered some new tires.. I went on tirerack to order the BFgoodrich tires (the one's on stock srt-4), I saw that they were $125 a piece.

I noticed that there was a closeout sale going for these Kumho ECSTA 711's..
The price was $52/tire. $208 for all 4.

I understand they aren't the best tires, but does anyone have any experience with them?

 

woops. please move this to tc wheels & tires.

 

My buddy just picked a set of these up and got them on his car five days ago. I'm sure they're decent tires for everyday "spirited" driving.

 

The other tires would of came to $500.. These came to $208, I couldn't resist that type of price difference, even if they aren't quite as good. The tread wear & noise comfort was actually better with these tires.

With the extra money I purchased an ingalls stiffy & megan s-pipe.

 

So no one else has these?

If anyone needs tires, they're still on the closeout sale on tirerack for a little longer.

 

Im not sure about 711's but I know that Kumhoe Ecsta ASX are great tires. Kumhoe in general makes very good tires from what I've seen. That's a great deal btw.

 

712's are their worst tire in my personal experiences with them , i just bought 6 711's for my xb. and i'm a yoko guy. just cant knock an awesome deal for good tires.

 

I sell kumho tires when I have them in stock the 711 is a good priced tire and you can get many miles from them if there rotated and air presssure is check in them
they are a great tire for the price. what size did you get for 52 ?

 

i got em for 54 plus shipping from tirerack for 215/40/17

hmm 52 eh?

 

The stock tC tire size is 215/45/17, not 215/40.. They are $52 each plus shipping. It's a closeout sale.

Up untill now I have ran nothing but Kumho Ecsta Supra's on my xB. I have had two sets so far & can't say enough good things about them. If the 711's are anything like the supras you just bought yourself one good set of tires for the money !

I decided to go cheap this time because all I do is show. I don't race or hit turns hard so I figured why blow the extra cash. All anyone sees at a show is a glossed tire anyway.

 

I have the 711's on my rims and they are a good tire in both wet and dry conditions.

 

Thanks for the replies guys.. I can't wait to get them, they should be here tomorrow.. My stock tires are pretty bad with 20k on the car and alot of runs at the track.

 

Damn, I ordered these around 8-9pm on wednesday and they're already on my door step.

That's some super fast ground shipping.

 

i got the 711's on my xB and they seem good to me. Havent had any problems really, I may stick with these tires....

 

I order the same tires, too. I was going to get the Avons again. Had them on my tc. Couldn't turn down $52 for the kumhos. Yeah the shipping is fast. Had mine in a day. To bad my wheels are on backorder.

 

I have a set on mine and no probs yet I have put about 15,000 miles on them.

 

I got these put on today and I think they're great.. I'm very satisfied. I wasn't expecting them to hook up so well, I launched my car a few times and it seemed like I could launch in a much higher RPM with barely any wheel spin.

 

anybody know about how many miles we can put on these before new ones? I have about 16,000 on mine right now. they still look like they got a lot of life left.

 

I would guess 30,000-40,000 because of the 320 treadwear rating. I'm kind of hard on tires, I would guess 30,000 for myself.
