Re: Tire options for 16" wheels

I'll add my $0.02 here as well.
 
I have Kumho Ecsta 712's on my other car. They work about 95% as well as the Yoko AVSi's they replaced, but I am looking to get at least double the life from them, based on wear so far (6k miles, two AutoX) and other's results. I'm sold.
 
Cheers,

You can get some really great tires in the price range you are looking and
frankly I don't think that Kumho's will do the trick.



I have some Kumho's on my 14's. I don't think I would have bought them at the
time, but I used them because they were free. But, I would definitely buy
Kumhos again. They have excellent wet and dry traction along with decent
treadwear. Next time I buy tires, they will most likely be Kumhos.
