Kuhmo Ecsta 712s like em? heard of em?

Thinkin about buying a set for my ZR1 wheels, is traction good? how long they last? i know someone has to have a set.
Either getting a whole set of these or, just 2 up front and nittos out back. Someone gimme some experiences with these tires please. Thanks!

I used to have them. If you just need tires & you need them on the cheap, they're great. if you want something that has some traction? they blow ***.

went from those to nitto DR's on the back & the DRs were bad ***.

Now I have the Kumho MX's & the're a lot better than the 712's, but don't hold a candle to the DRs, didn't expect them to though

I pulled a couple 1.9xs on some in my old '95 Z with alot of finesse. I also spun all the way through 1st and 2nd with them sometimes too... If you're looking for a good daily driver/cheap tire, they're great. As a drag tire, they blow.

i like mine just fine on the street, which is what they are intended for. i wouldnt use them and expect the same results as drag radials b/c that is not what they are or how they are designed to work. good buy IMO
