Kuhmo tires...???

91LX2Bfast · 02-14-2001, 03:15 PM

I have heard everything from "these are great tires and are one of the best values" to "these are the worst tires I have ever owned and they are unsafe in rain." Does anybody have any opinions/experinces w/ the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712 tires. In another month of two I'll be putting some 18" Cobra R's on my car and need some affordable tires. Thanks.

They're good road race tires but I wouldn't put them on a street car. They wear pretty fast and get sh!t for wet traction. But if corner carving on dry days is your thing then they'll do a great job. There are better ultra high performance all weather tires out there....they're just more $$$
