Kuhmo Ecsta ASt $98 per tire and awesome. Have been running them all winter.

Kumho Ecsta AST

 

I'd run the Kumho ASX rather than the AST, better performance overall...

 

Glad your son and the people in the other car are okay. and you got tires.

Mustang in wet conditions?

 

Glad all are ok, too. I agree with the post about the Nitto Neo Gens, ...same opinion, but I live in Ohio. They are, for the price, the best tires I have ever owned for daily, Dragon, and track driving.

 

+1 on the Cooper RS3A's. I've got them on the Countryman and for winter on Dark Helmet. Good bite and no noise.

 

:cornut: Love my Continental Extreme Contact also. Considering front wheel drive that 'eats' tires, they seem to last the longest on Margi (08 BRG R56 MCS/JCWm). The hardness rating on mine is 540, nice if long tire life is wanted.

If you go with the Nittos, I'm sure you will like them. While the 280 treadwear seems that the tires will wear quickly, they are a nice-wearing tire and provide the nice things of a summer tire while still being an all season tire. The ride is comfy and the tires grip well when needed, plus they have a high temp rating. I have them on my 15" holeys right now [for late Spring, summer and early Fall use] and plan to put them on my R84 16" v-spokes when the Kumho ASXes wear out. I like them THAT much.

 

Glad your son and everyone is OK.

I need to replace 2 summer tires on my '08 Cooper S, replacing the original Dunlop Sports. I have a set of 4 tires for winter, so only need a summer tire, not an all season. The Kumho Ecsta get decent reviews. I can wait the two weeks to replace if I have to order, so not in a rush. Any other suggestions? Most important to me is LOW road noise.

Thanks!
