Anybody with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712?
How's the quality?(Noise,Traction dry/wet) I currently have Pilot Sport 225/40/18ZR Front and 255/35/18ZR Rear. I was wondering if I can go with 235/40/18 and 265/35/18. I have 00 CLK 430 with CLK 55/E55 AMG Monoblock rims. I am not sure of wheel sizes. Thanks.

i have these on my accord, on Mille Miglia 18s, and i love them. they really are an under rated tire. the wet dry grip is better than the old Yokos and Falkens i had, and noise is not much louder than your average stock tire. the only problem is they are very soft, so dirt and rocks and pebbles stick to them a lot, and if you have any camber issues, they are easily effected. but the price/performance ratio, you cant beat these. i would get them again.
btw, they also dont offer rim protection features, and the sidewall is VERY straight, so watch curbs and parallel parking.

I have them but with my stock rims and gawd those ****ers are noisy. When I'm driving into the parking garage at work I see people covering their ears as I pass by because they're so loud.

The Kumhos hold up Very good!
I Have gone through two sets on my wagon 245/275 18s
No Noise..Very good stick both wet and dry
I Had a Set of the Yo Yos AVS ...Got Rid of them after 500 Miles
Sounded like Studded snow tires......
For the Money the Kumho is a Great Tire....
As For the Clk I Would talk to scorchie He has a CLK55 and has Several sets of wheels/tires for it.

for $205.00 out the door (2 rear tires) installed, w/ a 30,000 mile warranty at America's Tire Company, you really can't expect too much. I think they are excellent for the price
