Thoughts on the Kumho Ecsta SPT
I need some new tires on my new to me C6. I just cant shell out the 1500 they want for th ePS2's right now so was thinking that this will be an ok set for the time being .... Anyone have any thought on these tires...Its my DD so not going to track it or auto X it but maybe once to see how she does......
Also do the TPMS need to be rebuilt car has 44k miles on the org GY run flats..
Thanks in advance... what a different beast then the C3 I have sitting in the garage..

45K miles!
I replaced the GYs on my 05 C6 at 30K miles and I now have 75K miles on the car. I've been very pleased with the handling, noise and long life of these tires - especially compared to the GYs. I had the installer align with minimum toe-in so all 4 tires have worn very uniformly. I've had 3 slow leaks due to nails or screws - the TPMS let me know about it and I just kept the tire inflated properly until I could take it in and get them fixed. One rear tire had to be replaced very early on when a screw went into the sidewall and could not be repaired. The road hazard warranty more than paid for itself on that one. The other leaks were repaired properly with at the installer with a patch on the inside.
I plan to replace them with 4 more new ones very soon now.

YUP.. like I said i just got the car a week ago from an older retired couple, was the wifes car.. the car even went on the caravan in 09 to the factory ,,, the alignment is off in the front other wise I may have been able to get 50k out of them... I had all the fluids serviced on friday and my mechanic found the cording... I didnt see it when I got it..
