Thumbs up Kumho Ecsta 711 VS Fuzion ZRI tires

Well I currently have some stock AP1 wheels with Fuzion ZRi tires which I know are not so great. I am looking at buying some ASA AR1 wheels but they come with Kumho Ecsta 711 tires. Will these be inferior in handling and performance even compared to the Fuzion ZRI tires? Are they all season tires or summer tires or what? I can't seem to find much good info on them as I guess they are discontinued now.
Any help would be appreciated. I am aware however that they are not top performing tires, just curious how they would compare against the Fuzion ZRI's so I will not what I will be sacrificing or gaining by going with this wheel and tire deal/.

IMO, the ZRI's are a better tire and I ran 711s on my Integra a few years ago and I hated them...but it was the only tires I could afford as a HS senior

Damn. So if I am just daily driving my car and no track or anything how would they be? Will it make the handling feel like crap even when not tracking it or anything? Just daily driving it? I don't mind if it can't grip as well as some crazy tires, but if it makes the car feel wobbly and add body roll etc I don't want to get them. The wheels I am looking at have them so that is why I am considering it.

Fuzion's aren't that bad, they're the best bargain tire IMO.
