Ecsta SPTs (first)
Hmmm, so it goes Ecsta AST, ASX and then SPT? SPT is the grand daddy of the Ecstas? Is that a summer tire? Cause I'm talkin more all season high performance... Proxes4 are all season.

All season and high performance do not belong in the same sentence to me. But yeah, Ecsta SPT is Kumho's ultra-high performance summer tire. They used to max a max. performance summer tire, the Ecsta MX but I believe those have been superceded by something else.Hmmm, so it goes Ecsta AST, ASX and then SPT?

The problem is finding tires in 205/40/17's.
The treadwear on the Proxes4 is a little low (320 I think) but the all around performance for the price is really good IMO.
Really? I've had the Proxes4's on my P5 since I bought her and I really dislike them. I mean, to each their own of course, but I think these tires are terrible. They slip like crazy in all conditions. I'm going to buy new tires in a few months but have to rock the all seasons too, so I will probably go back to the Yokohama AS430's, or some Falkens FK's.
Falken's are pretty nice too, But I feel like the Proxes4 are one of the best wet traction tires I've ridden. That and they are quieter than some other tires I've ridden that had worse traction. I haven't tried yokohamas b4, I need to tho. Maybe my next set will have to be the AS430's...
I see you're rolling on 215/45-17's. Any rubbing issues? I would love to slip some 215/40-16 on my OEM wheels but don't want to rub on my Tein S-techs...
Heh. She's a bit tail happy in the rain. 1st thru 3rd are essentially useless for trying to get up to speed if you pull out in front of someone. 4th and 5th will break loose on an onramp in boost.
Other than that, it's awesome! Hahaha.
^^^ Hmmm, those do look very appealing, especially for that price. If they hook up with your motor, they certainly won't have any problem hooking up with mine. Haha
Have you tried them during the winter here in Ohio? They say all season.
Where did you find your Nexens? I need new tires for the Speed6, want to get something inexpensive but somewhat good (I know, those are opposing specs but I can't keep buying tires like my Toyo T1-Rs and getting only 22,000 miles out of them).
I belive it that thing is a little pocket rocket. My life flashed before my eyes (shocked) (j/k)when you turned down that road and went sideways toward an oncoming truck lol. Makes me envious I dont have RWD. I think next time you should let me take it for a spin haha Ill let you take the speed3 out for a run. I dont think it will blow ur socks off though the ecu has learned my grandma driving (just checked my trip computer I have been averaging 25 mpg for past 2k and I never drive on the highway!)
