I love my Supra Ecsta 712s just curious what others thought...
I run a 205/50-15 with a 82V speed rating forgot to mention that...

they make decent tires at a really good price - so they are good if you go through tires alot

i can get a great deal on g-force KDs though, so i'll stick with those 8)

I had a set of Supra Ecsta 712s too on my old Celica. Very good tire for the price. Very good stick in the dry, was not overly impressed with it in the wet. Brought it to the drag stip once, and although they performed quite well, they shred really easily and I had little bits of rubber all over my fenders and in my fender well. More of a street/light track tire than a drag tire.

What, you can't read the sidewall markings in the pic? :D

Ok, how about the Kumho stickers?

The Kuhmo 712 Supras handle like crap, but they are cheap. If you want good handling at any cost choose SO3s, KDs, etc. If you want cheap buy the Kuhmos. HTH

I run...er ran, before it blew up....711's on my all-trac. They're decent for the price, but they're wet weather traction is not that great. I'd say maybe a hair better than the dunlop sp5000's I had on there prior, and still have on the rear. will not be using them again, as i want some awesome wet traction with this car.

I had ecsta supras on my mk4, and have replaced the rears (twice :P ) with some ecsta MX's. They both have very good traction, and very good wet weather performance. The supras are a little better in the rain, and the MX's are a little better on dry. Once the fronts wear out I'll replace those with MX's also.
