Great deal on Kumho ECSTA MX's

[Chi-Town Z06]

After reading about the Kumho's on this forum I have decided to get them. I ordered them through "just tires" and got the Kumho ECTSTA MX rear's for 229 each and the front's for 133 each! The front's are a little bigger (275/45-17) than the Goodyears on there now but from what I read they will fit with no issues. Just thought I would pass along a great deal.

Wish I had heard this a little sooner. I just bought tires.

Thanks for the info

You can get them from tirerack for cheaper. $213 for the rear and $125 for the front. I just put down a $100 deposit for all 4 tires mounted w/ lifetime balance and repair at discount tires for $807.50 (tax and everyting included). But, I just got another super deal for 4 used wheels (Motorsport OE black with chrome lips) w/ Toyo Proxes T1R mounted and balanced for $800. The wheels and tires are practically brand new. So, I just called discount tires to cancel the order. They were nice enough to agree to pay me back the deposit.

So, if anybody in the DFW area wants the Kumho at discount, let me know, I think I can get discount to put them on for you @ $807.5. They said they're going to cancel it Monday morning because Kumho is closed on the weekend.

One thing I can tell you, I like the Kumho even better than the GY SC. They are just as sticky on dry, but 10x better in the rain.

I bought mine from TireRack for that price and really like them.

You can get a good tire shop to match tire rack prices. In my case, I was able to get them for atleast $50 cheaper at Discount tire than from Tirerack after you add in shipping, mounting, balancing, disposal fees, and chrome valve stems.

I was out the door at $809 for 4 mounted/balanced Kumho Ecsta MX's today. The front tires they only make in the 275 size so there a little bigger but they do not rub or touch at all. The rears are so meaty looking compared to the Goodyears. I'll let you know how I like them after a few hundred miles. Overall I am very pleased I "only" had to pay a little over 800 buckaroos for brand new tires.

Let us know how the 275/45/17 work on the front. That's an awfully tall tire from the stock 265/40/17. A Diameter Difference increase of : 5.24%.

Or did you mean to say 275/40/17 which will fit fine

[Chi-Town Z06]

Yeah they told me they were tall by a little bit. It rode home very nicely but once I get a few hundred miles on them and hit the drag this weekend i'll have better review.

Double check the size of the tire. I don't believe that Kumho ECTSTA MX even come in that size (275/45/17)

You are correct! They are 275/40/17. They don't seem much taller but the tire guys said they were...?

I had a set back a couple of years ago - once they get about 10K miles on them they seem to get hard and VERY noisy.

They're a knock-off of the BF Goodrich KD's. Not nearly as good a tire as the KD's but for the money - they're a good value.
