Post Kuhmo Ecsta MX 411

I go through tires like Ron Jeremy goes through condoms, so I was looking at the Tire rack and saw these Kuhmo's for 159.00 each. WOW, anyone have em?? like em?
Street use only, ocassional drag strip time but not much.

For front tires they are decent.
For rear tires with what you have = driving on ice.

I was thinking of the MXs as well but decided upon the Nitto 315 DRs for the rear (see new post). I'll keep the 275s upfront, when the GYs wear out I'm not sure what brand I'll go with next, maybe the MXs. Are they in stock now?

I think that is a new tire. I too have been waiting for a few people to run them for a while. Kuhmo makes god tires, so I expect these will be.
