    Default Kumho Ecsta MX...

    Just wanted to see what ppl on ia think about these tires. Personally own or know someone that has them. Im thinking about putting them on my 15's with a 205/50/15 size. Thanks in advance!

    they are very much liked in the track day circle for being incredibly heat and abuse resistant (for a street tire). Ultimate grip should be on par (or just slightly off) of the RT615s. I don't think autocross people like them as much since 1. their sidewalls aren't too stiff, 2. they seem to perform better when they get some heat in them. I think they're being phased out soon, I personally plan to get a bunch when I see them on sale on tirerack (they tend to have the best deals on MXs, from what I've seen, sale or not). I don't think you can go wrong with the MXs for a good deal/high grip tire.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    They are goot tires unless you have a highhp car- My mother in laws vette has some ecstas and she can smoke them at half throttle.

    Probably smokes off R comps too. Doesn't mean much.

    They are a very good tire. Used them as my track tires last season for 1 event. Worked great.
