Hey guys... just pick up the Aug 2009 issue of the Car and Driver..
and there is a tire test in there..
i think few of you want to know the feed backs and the reviews of the Kumho Ecsta XS
and it is in there..!! so if ur friend have a copy or anything like that.. check it out!! ^^

Tires include in the Test

LING LONG L688
HANKOOK VENTUS V12 EVO
YOKOHAMA S. DRIVE
NITTO INVO
KUMHO ECSTA XS
FALKEN AZENIS RT-615
BFGOODRICH G-FORCE T/A KDW
BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE760 SPORT
DUNLOP DIREZZA SPORT Z1 STAR SPEC
MICHELIN PILOT SPORT PS2

 

We have tested a number of these tires as well. You can see our test on the web site.

 

The hankooks placed 2nd. This shows that name brand does not = performance

 

yeah, the PS2s got beat in a lot of tests

 

That was a good read! Reinforces my want for the star specs

 

this is why i cant decide between star spec's and the kumho's.

 

Here is a test I found on their website
