Tire Review: Kumho Ecsta SPT

Recommended Posts

I have 18" enkei Rp02 with Kumho Ecsta SPT 225/40/18 on my car

I put about 400 miles so far

just let you guys know, i've tried goodyear eagle f1 and pirelli p-zero n+s in past

 

anyways, here it is

 

Dry - 8.5/10. It handles very well. I can take turns a lot faster than what i could do with RE92. plus it doesn't scream. it just sticks to the road and go. it'll turn better once i install swaybars this weekend ;) (cusco F&R)

 

Wet - 9/10. I live in Seattle aka Rain City. so far i had no problems. i had some problems with re92s when i was cornering bit fast and ABS kicked in when i stepped on the brake little hard. but with kumhos, i have no problems that i had with the re92

 

on freeway, it's very quite too. i can't really tell the difference between re92 and SPT on freeway because my car is loud..anyways, these tires are just as quite as RE92 if not quiter.

 

 

Overall, i'm very happy with my purchase.

not bad for 90 bucks per tire.

best thing, it performs better than $200+ tires (eagle f1 and pirelli)

 

i'll probably get the SPT again but it's gonna be either 235/40 or 245/35

better than eagle f1 gsd3? doubt it. i have the eagles on my saab and supra 712's on the leggy (esentially the same as the spt) and there is no question the eagles are stickier in my mind

I got my kumhos from tirerack

 

Mdork- supra 712 and SPT is not "pretty much the same tire"

 

Different matererials, ratings and tread design

those sound like some good prices... im gonna run my SO-3's from last summer.. maybe i'll give these a chance when its time to buy new tires for the summer... are the sidewalls stiff on these?

Got Torque ?

sidewalls are not the stiffest but not softest

 

you won't have problem with the sidewalls unless you are gonna autocross

if you do autocross, put more air in it to around 40psi
