Default Kumho Ecsta SPT

At 27K, the original Contis (esp the rear) were looking a little beat up, so I surfed a bunch of reviews online and settled on the Kumhos - $769.28 for a full set out the door.

While new tires should be a slam dunk over old ones, I couldn't be more pleased at how quiet and sticky these are. More fun than ever to put the top down, turn the radio off, and whip thru the canyons.

Where did you but your tires.?? Last March I bought the same tires from "Tire Rack" for $563 out the door, and delivered two days later. Some price rise.
I was also impressed with the quality of the tires. Currently mine are on my stock (Spare) wheels as I have now fitted chromes.

By "out the door" I meant the price of the tires plus mounting, balancing, and California sales tax.

Rear tires were $210. ea, front $135. While they can be had for slightly less at tirerack.com, shipping costs exceeded the savings.
