Default Kumho Ecsta XS

Anyone been running these tires yet? I'd love to hear a review: Streetability, noise, traction, wear(I know they've only been out a few months but some here work their tires hard).

so far so good, I like them!!! it takes alot to make a Z rated tire,{I wouldn't be afraid} very low noise, good grip, if your going to non runflats YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THE WAY THIS CAR HANDLES!!!!!

I have a set of 4 on the car. The traction and steering were great untill H&C install now the car is crazy powerful and they wont hold it. The noise is great and non runflat tires are awesome!

Default anyone else using Kuhmo XS on a C6 Z06?

Just curious to get some feedback. The sizes are identical to PS2 and Invo's (I think - need to verify) and rolling diameters are just about the same as well.

I already have the battery operated compressor and can of fix it in the car to get it ready for the new shoes.
