I almost posted my own thread about these when I mounted them a few weeks ago .

If I was needing a couple more winters out of my tires....I would go with those.
Really not sure what I might need out of the new Civic.

^^^ Yeah, I'm counting on the ones that come with it working ok.
But for the next replacements...I'll look at the Michelins.

Two days at Roebling Road.

^^Geez...what did you hit to take chunks out like that?

Those tires were on my 330 and brand new before two weekends at Roebling Road. Unfortunately, they were full depth tread and the heat/track chunked them. Next time, I’ll get the tires shaved before I go.

I put these Kumho ECSTA V720’s on my M3. They should last longer than my other tires.

^^^ Awesome! Great to hear.

Is that a 4S or Cup 2?

Kuhmo Ecsta xxx

I have the Kuhmo Ecsta SPT's on my 84....only used on the road.

I've used Kuhmo's for a long time....always have like them. My next fav tires are Toyo's

The little checker board on the sidewall had me thinking Michelin.

I switched from the Michelin 4S to Cup 2 and no more tread chunking. Now it's just dollar bills chunking!

When the Cup 2's wear out, I think I'll try Yokohama 052's.

I have had this tire for sale on Craigslist for a month now for $20
Not one response...am I asking too much?

Yes.

Any less...I might as well burn the damn tire. :D

Drop it off for recycle.

^^^ We don't have a spot like that. The tire sales places will take your tires for $10 each..but I don't think they will take them unless replacing them.

I would think a single tire would be a hard sell. A pair or four would be much easier.

It was one of a pair on the rear of my Carrera. The other one had sidewall damage...so I had both replaced to match, and kept the good one.

I thought maybe someone on CL would want it for a spare.

Back when I had a miata, I used Toyos and liked them. They had soft sidewalls, but great grip. I tried some Kuhmos because I heard good things. They were great in the dry, but horrible in the wet. I went back to Toyos. My go to tires are usually Bridgestone or Michelin. I've really liked the performance of both in a few cars if you can get the rights model in the right size.

^ That ^

May as well make it free.

^^^ I might have to go buy one to make a pair for sale. :D

I have always bought Toyo's for my Prelude. Currently have Toyo Extensa HP's all around.

Still no sale on the Kuhmo.
Might have to lower the price.

The price is now $10 for the tire. Not bad for an $80 tire.
