New max performance summer tire for BMW! Kumho Ecsta LE Sport

Hey guys, there's a new tire out for sports cars by Kumho that rivals the PS2 and Hankook Ventus V12. It is more expensive than the Hankooks but I"ve had Kumho's before on my japanese cars and they've been relatively quiet, excellent tread-life and problem-free.


Here it is: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Ecsta+LE+Sport

so who's gonna be the first guinea pig?

Probably because your car came with run-flats from the factory. Tire Rack throws up a lot of warnings if you try to pick tires that aren't the factory size. Just imagine when I try to order 35's for my jeep that came stock with 28" tires.

From the description, sounds like a great tire, but why not go with Kumho XS if you want high performance summer only tires? I had them on the back of my Cobra and they were awesome.
