Tire Opinions ....
Hey guys,
I'm shopping around for tires for my C230 Komp. I'm looking for an 18inch tire with 225/40/18
My research points to the Kumho 712 ECSTA, every place says it the best "bang for the buck" price on that is $140 USD
Do you guys have any suggestions on similar tires in that price range
Thx

Car and driver had a whole spread on performance tires just a couple of months ago. Here is the link: http://www.caranddriver.com/article....ticle_id=10252

thanks for the help gentlemen..... 
I think I found my tire, the Kumho ECSTA MX , reviews on the net all say the same, really good tire, but the only down fall is the treadwear, but what do u expect from a extreme performance summer radial, the stickier the better, if your worried about treadwear, buy an all season tire....
