I got them delivered today, they'll be put on at lunch.

Kuhmo Ecsta MX - 205/40/17.
UNF

 

Sweet

Those look nice

and cheap

 

Yeah, they weren't bad, $430 shipped from Tirerack -- and ohhhh they're going to be sticky icky icky.

 

im getting those in 205-50-15 next week...$90 each includes mounting and balancing. :thumbup:

 

WiLL & JP, you'll LOVE them. No question.

 

Definitely looking forward to it.
This weekend I'll do an oil change, fix the rear swaybar (the top bolts on the right-side mounting bracket backed out) and then break in the tires..

Next weekend or sometime like that, after it dries out a little more, i'll test these pieces out.

I'm not expecting to get more than 10k miles out of them. That's okay though, since, well; it's summer and I have a bike too.

 

didnt you just have a set of the yokos?

 

I just had a set of the Yokohama AVS ES100's, yes. I loved them as well. They were totally awesome, much better than the Kuhmo Ecsta 712's I had on it before.

Unfortunatly, about 1500-2000 miles of *hard* driving (back roads of Bay Area, California are just too tempting) toasted those tires in a little over 10k miles. That, and neglecting to rotate them did that, of course.

We'll see how these tires last, presumably less long; I'd imagine.
*shrug*.

 

:doh: man, they went out quick! oh well....yokos are notorious for sticky tires and short life

 

how long are these tires expected to last under "normal" conditions? i want more than 10k from them
