Is anyone running this tire? If so, how do you like it? Kumho Ecsta PA31 all_ Season Radial Tire-195/60R16 89V

Never tried that tire, but I have really good luck with this one:

It is about a pound lighter at V-rated specs, if that matters to you.

Yes I’m running one. See my post above. 8k miles in and love it.

Is this a run-flat tire?

If so, that tire is probably the replacement for the previous generation of the Kumho Ecsta SPT that was used by many (including me) a few years ago.

I got about the same mileage I did (~13k) out of that tire as I was getting from Dunlop E3's, so I moved to a Pirelli (same 13k per tire), then onto the (no longer available) Michelin Alpin ZP. My mileage jumped up to ~19k on a rear tire.

I just took off a Yokohama Avid Envigor - ~20k down to the wear bars.

Now, Murgie is a guru on these things... :mrgreen:

Sorry Murgie, just know seeing this. Do you know the difference in the 2 tires? Is yours the newer one?
