iam going to need new tires soon but iam not sure which ones to get. i dont have a lot of money but i like tires that will hanfle well. i have kumho escta 712 in 275/41ZR17. they are all right in the dry but suck in the wet. i want a tire for all year long that handels well and gets decent wet traction. iam lookin at
Kumho ECSTA SPT 320 AA A $117
BFGoodrich g-Force Sport 340 AA A $127
Yokohama AVS ES100 280 AA A $116
Continental ContiExtremeContact 400 AA A $127
if anyone has any experiences with these tires that would be great. thanks

 

if you want great rain traction, get the kuhmo Ecsta Supra, costed me about 200 for one tire, i only run them on the front of my car, but ive hit some big puddles, any other tire would have hydroplaned, but having them on the front, theycut right through the water.

275/45ZR/18 ecsta supra's on the front
315/60ZR/18 M/T's for the track, BFG/comp T/A VR-4 (rare) for cruizn, on the back.

 

kuhmo's suck. all of em. bf goodrich traction t/a. sould run about 400 installed.

 

obviously youve never used or seen ecsta supra's, on the FRONT, (not good for rear tires)they have a rain gutter in the center of the tire, and a very large one at that, it lets the pressure out of large puddles so you never loose traction. on my stock rims all i used were bf goodrich, theyhad no where near the rain traction , if youve ever seen an ecsta supra you would know why they are the best in the rain, and its the only tire that can use the patent.but yes all other kuhmo's suck, i would never use them as rear tires.

 

i have yokohama avid T4s all around. under 100 bucks here. they doo great on the dry and damn good on the wet.

 

acctually i have, they suck

 

I used the kuhmo supras high performance summer tires and in the rain they are great. Better than the goodyear rsa. better than the dunlop sports I have now (lost traction on dry road with those)

 

I have 17 inch wheels with toyo proxies on them. dont like driving it when it rains though because the wider traction and tire allows sheets of water to form between the tire and road easier.
