anyone have Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's?

[ELEmental59437]

I am interested in getting the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's for my p5. I read some mixed reviews on these and was just looking for more opinions. Also are they any bigger or smaller than our stock dunlops on the p5? (Im not a tire expert, but I dont want a large profile tire).

Looks and traction (along with price) is what im going for. any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I had a set.....I F'n hated em. They weren't very sticky, squealed att he limit, and sounded like a bag of gravel when the tread got low. I've got a set of yoko es100's now (which are almost bald =). Much better tire and in the same price range.

You would be better going with the Kuhmo 711's.... They consistently outperform the 712's...Trust me on this one

hmm..... I've been wonderin about those my self. I've heard it both ways, some have told me they were better than the 712's others have said they were crap.

They ARE crap...but still better than the 712's...and cheaper (spin)

Tires are a matter of opinion, but honestly my 712's have been great. They grip a hell of a lot better than the dunlop SP5000's in the rain and they grip just as well on dry pavement. Yes there are better tires, but as quickly as I go through tires, they turned out to be a great deal for me.

so instead of getting 4 kumho's i think im just gunna replace the front dunlops.. its going to cost less and they will match and get the job done. i will wait til i get rims to get the best tires (when i can afford them)

thanks for your opinions guys. much appreciated
