Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum

Luke,

Got any feedback on this specific tire/model? Looking to get a set for my daily driver. What's the MBWorld discount price for this? Let me know.

depends on the weather

during our testing my track evaluation of these tires was done in the wet and I can say I was thoroughly unimpressed by their wet traction. I was a decent riding tire with low noise but, the wet traction was lacking so much it stands out in my mind more than anything else about the test. I am not a fan of the Ecsta LX unless you are in an area that gets below normal amounts of precipitation.

Should be ok since the area where i'm at doesn't get much rain. Is there an MBW discount for this tire? And if so how much or you can PM me. Ready to buy.

thanks

Thanks to Luke for the prompt service on getting me these tires.

Wanted to give out my initial impression on these tires.

Since delivery last friday i've put about close to 3oo miles on these. Have to say money well spent. The grip, quietness and performance on these tires are simply amazing imo. Very quiet, good grip and smooth. Felt the ride on the car when it first left the dealer the day i bought it.

Haven't tested it on wet conditions so i can't comment on it. Also it feels live i've added 5whp on each corner. lol

Seriously driving on these tires are great.
