Default Experience with Kumho 4Xs on 2GS

I was wondering if anyone here had experience with Kumho Ecsta 4X tires on their GS. They had decent reviews on TireRack and are not too expensive.

Here is the link: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....wtpackage=true

I was just wondering if anyone knew if they worked well with our 2GS. Every tire performs differently depending on the car that it is on.

I haven't heard any customer feedback yet from these as they're pretty new. These are the replacement for the Ecsta ASX which were a not bad performance all-season either.

One of my buds, has a 2000 GS400 with those 4X Kumhos. He's already put 12K on them and tread not even 1/4 worn yet.. I drove his car, and its smooth and handles well for a discount brand/tire.. It drives just as good or better than his old Michelin Pilot Sports All-Seasons.

Hey, I am 1QWKGS4's friend with the 4x's. They have been incredibly great tires! I had the Michelin Pilot Sports on before and these are as good as if not better than them. I can't recommend them enough, especially for the price.

Thanks for the advice, guys. I actually just had these tires installed on my stock 17 inch rims yesterday. I went on a 2 hour trip and so far I am pleased with the ride. I haven't had any time to test these tires performance or rain and snow qualities. Hopefully they excel in those areas.
