Default Know anything about:

Kuhmo Ectsa hp4716
in 195/60/r14
Those are the tires I am thinking about buying for my Elantra. I know that the general thought hear is that Kuhmos are great tires, but this may be a low end tire of theirs. They are on sale at Tirerack.com for 36 bucks each. Any thoughts/Ideas?
Thanks In Advance

They are NOT performance tires. Those are Kumho's "all weather high milage low wear econo" tires. Never used them myself, but at 36 bucks a piece I wouldn't ecpect a whole lot from them.

My friend's Integra has Toyo's equivalent on it and they suck! No traction whatsoever...and if it rains forgedaboudit! rolleyes.gif

Thanks Mark,
Pretty much my thought too. I have Yokahma's on the front. I am real pleased with them. Think they are AVID T4s. These Kuhmos are going on the back pair.
