Full Version: New KUMHO Ultra-High Performance Tire!

You heard it here first people! One of my contacts who is the exculsive importer of the wheels I will most likely fit on my upcoming 350Z, has just informed me of this new Kumho dubbed: "ECSTA MX" It promises to compete against the likes of the BFGoodrich g-Force KDW & Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar which are among the "Best on Earth" in terms of all out exotic-car performance! And with AA traction & a treadwear of 220 that would make it quite exceptional. We're talking better than Pilot Sport, S-03, and yes my favorite the T1-S. And like their current Ecsta, it will be "considerably" less $$$ than anything in the ultra-high performance class! According to my boy by as much as $100 less per tire!
:eek: :eek: :eek:

I pulled this straught from their site:

ECSTA MX
35/40/45/50/55 Series, 'Y' Speed Rated, BSW
The Ecsta MX optimizes dry handling without compromising wet grip with advanced silica compounding and a distinctive tread pattern developed by synergizing the latest technological concepts from competition and aircraft. The Ecsta MX is best suited for the sophisticated driver that demands maximum ultra high performance for the street.
UTQG: TBD

the previous kumho tires i have had the displeasure of using were absolute and utter crap, so maybe they have got thier act together???
TXSTYLE
Oh I would have to agree with you there! But apparently they have had some extra "revenue" pumped in, and are suppossed to come strong with the Ecsta MX. I'll keep you posted!:yes:
Richie
Please keep us informed man.
You are fitting them to the Nissan?
TXSTYLE
Well I would say yes, but...................I need to get some feedback from someone first! :D j/k But you know how I am really stuck on my Toyo Proxes T1-S! :yes: And speaking of my upcoming 350Z, check out this picture Globeclk photoshopped for me!
