Description: On the outside, the ECSTA Supra 712 molds Kumho's advanced silica tread rubber compound into a wide directional tread pattern to provide dry traction and handling. Its angular tread blocks are separated by high angle lateral grooves and a large circumferential center groove to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction by evacuating water from between the tire's contact patch and the road (earning the highest "AA" UTQG Traction Rating). Internally, the ECSTA Supra 712's twin steel belts are reinforced with two nylon cap plies to provide high speed durability while delivering responsive handling and stable cornering. Finally, a new casing profile reinforced with a polyester cord body enhances ride comfort.

Pros: lasts a long time
Cons: no traction.. haha

For a summer tire that one wants to last a LONG time, these tires are ok, I suppose.

For a tire to be used on a track, these tires are like running on glass.

But I suppose, after trying to kill them with several track events, skipads, wut not, they are still around, unfortunately.

Pros: Price, Wear.
Cons: Grip, Grip, Grip, Grap On My Tired!!

Meh, I came off of a set of the now defunkt Bridgestone Potenza RE730's and got these... They seem to wear slower but really don't grip nearly as well. I am not pleased with the level of grip at all.

I'm sure compared back to back with RE92's i'd be singing a different tune...

Pros: cheap, decent tread

I used these for 6 months w/ no problems... they\'re good for the price but not auto-x.

Pros: Cheap, way better than stock, grips throughout lifespan
Cons: Maybe not as much grip as other Z-rated tires

I\'ve been driving on these tires since I swapped out my stock rims/tires, and the tires grip great, are very predictable, and grip the same even when the tire is getting bald! I am very impressed and will buy these tires again. The price is fantastic for Z or W rated tires and don\'t listen to your friends who might diss them as being cheap, Kumho tires work great!!

Pros: Good treadlife, wet performance, and cheap
Cons: Not a performance tire

For what this tire is, it is a great bargain. Do not expect it to improve tracktimes, or be a good substitute tire for competition use as this is not what is mainly for.

This is more of an above average street tire for good dry and wet traction for the racer with a budget. It has an above average treadlife, and will respond well to daily driving with some speed for fun. To expect anything more out of this type of tire is asking too much, as you get what you pay for.

Pros: Good grip, Great price
Cons: Short tread life

I\'ve had three sets of these tires and they have never let me down. You really can\'t beat them for the price. Check out tires.com or tirerack.com for some good deals.

Pros: Fair priced.. far better than stock
Cons: None so far.

So far these tires work pretty good. I have put about 100 miles on them and have no compaints
