Kumho Ecsta MX

I used to run the 712's and still run them up front but I currently have 285/40/17' s MX's in the rear and the hook a LOT beter than the 712's but they do wear out faster. Personally I think that the MX is one of the best tires ever made and I will continue to run these on my car for street tires. They also grip the road very well, which is good for handling. I suggest that you get them, you will not regret it.
 
Thanks for the help guys, just seems like everyone who has 18" rubber runs the BFG KDW's which are big bucks per tire.

the Kumho's seem to get a lot of good responses from people and I can get them locally from a few shops who offer free mounting/balancing when you order them through them

these tires are looking better and better
