KUMHO ECSTA LE SPORT review
Ok so I'm no tire expert but I ditched the run flats and got some KUMHO ECSTA LE SPORTS from Tire Rack and I absolutely love them. they are much quieter then the Bridgetones th car came with and a fraction of the cost. I'm sure they dont copare to the Conti DW or some of the other tires out there, but bang for your buck I love them. They've been on the car for around 1500 miles and still feel good. thanks Tire Rack

I have these too. Got them when they were fairly new and TR was doing a $100 rebate, made them cheaper than the famous Hankook V12 and they got better reviews. I have about 7k on them now. They are definitely great for the money. Much better comfort compared to the stock Bridgestones - no bracing for impact when you see a pothole fast approaching. Traction is good and so far they are showing very little wear. However it is pretty easy to break them loose (which can be fun), also, the initial turn in response is no where near what the stock RFTs provided. When I first had these mounted I did an aggressive lane change and thought I just made a terrible mistake, but after breaking them in and getting the pressure adjusted I've really started to enjoy them. Overall, they're a great tire for the price, they're not going to give you the ultimate grip but if you need a budget tire I would definitely recommend them. Next time I will probably try and splurge for the PSS just to see how the other half lives.

Reviews on TireRack on the Kumho's are surprisingly way up there. Great tires, many of my customers had good things to say about them.

I have them too, but on my B8 A4 Audi. Only had them for about 1000 miles but so far they are great. Had the V12's before and these are much quieter and definitely a better ride. And with the $50 rebate from Khumo even better!

I think they're around 38-40 for the front and rear. There used to be a thread for recommended non-rft pressure, you can probably find it if you need more info.
