I wish they still made Kumho Ecsta XS. Those were awesome and cheap.
Kumho is a better performance than the defender but defenders are still great.
Khumo v730 - Not as bad in the wet as you might think. Would still be cautious though. And honestly I see this tire being dailied as situational. it will depend on drive train the area you live. If you live in Louisiana or something and it rains all the time I may not have gone with this tire. If you're in Arizona then I'd say this may be the best tire to daily. My area this is the rainy season so it will only really see rain when it's new. My Last event was everything this tire hates cold and wet. About 42 ambient with a wet track. And yes they felt like power wheels tires at times but I never questioned them they still communicated well. And IMO the way this tire communicates is the highlight of it. It's hard to explain, but it's just so clear in what it's doing. If you sim it's like this tire dialed in my FFB setting. That is the best and only way I can think to describe it. They are a chatty tire in the best way possible. Even just road driving them ugh Im in love with these tires.
Am avut KUMHO ECSTA PS71 205/60/16 (de vara) timp de 3 sezoane pe masina si am fost foarte multumit de ele, modelul asta pe 16” tin minte ca statea bine pe teste, m-am documentat destul de mult cand le-am luat.
Am trecut anul trecut la jante pe 17” si am luat tot Kumho, de data asta all season SOLUS 4A HA32+ (225/50/17). Desi nu am fost niciodata fan all season, am ajuns sa fac maxim 10k km pe an cu masina si dupa ultimele ierni am ajuns la concluzia ca bataia de cap e prea mare cu doua seturi separate. Le am din august pe masina si sunt tare multumit si de astea.
Am avut kumho ecsta ps71, si au fost ok timp de 3 ani.
Folosesc Kumho de ani buni. Extrem de mulțumit! Recomand!
I don’t have enough experience on Spesh tires other than the Sworks Fasttrack/Renegade I bought last year on a similar sale. They weigh in at around 620g each in the 2.35 size, which is much lighter than my Rekon Race 2.4WT at 780g. Feels nice to lose that much rotational weight and the grip I found to be similar. Also similar efficiency. What I didn’t like was the flimsy sidewall. There’s a reason they are so light. Lots of tire squirm and feeling of folding over in turns unless I ran high PSI (+5PSI compared to the Rekon Race). This is on a 30mm IW rim. Also, I had to use my tire plug for the first time on the front tire (Fasttrack). I’ve gone back to a slow XC setup of Rekon/Rekon Race this year but with a race or two coming up I’m debating what to do. I’m intrigued by the Aspen/Rekon Race combo but Aspen’s weigh about the same as my Rekon Race.
They are definitely not twice as good. I was riding a Rekon/Ardent race combo and replaced them with Fast Track/ Renegade while those were on sale and I don’t feel like I’ve had any drop in performance.
THIS IS MY LAST KUMHO. IM GOING TO BUY A SET OF 4 FROM CONTINENTAL. KUMHO TIRES SUCK.
Tires Kuhmo Solis. Eh weird wear causing vibration.
