[Southern States] Questions bout 2 tires and lookingforanopinion.. try this again!

[Joe.Doty at lcnetwork.com (Joe Doty)]

I like their Victoracers but I was not very impressed with the Ecstas.

For a 280 treadwear tire they did not last very long at all and had marginal grip.  Their saving grace used to be price, but the AVS ES100s (the successor to the AVS Intermediate) can be had for the same price.  My brother had them on his rabbit for a while, they lasted about as long as the Falken Azenis (a 200 treadwear rated tire).

I'm sure they handle better than your run-of-the-mill touring tire, but for the money I'd rather have the AVS ES100 or give the Dunlop FM901 a shot.

Joe, 
?Strong language for not explaining why you feel this way.
What was your experience with the Kumhos?
(I ask because I am getting a set of ECSTA MX's for my other car tomorrow..)

The Kuhmos are junk,
