Default KUMHO TYRES??

Soooo.....

anyone had any experience with Kumho tyres on their car?? I know they're quite popular in motorsport but just wondered how good their road tyres are.

I'm looking at these specifically, the Ecsta sports,

KUMHO TYRES / CAR / KUMHO KU31 ECSTA SPORT KUMHO KU 31 - 215/45R17 91W XL : £53.00 : Car Tyres - MPV Tyres - People Carrier Tyres : R17" - 215/45/17, 215/45 R 17 -

or do I just spend the extra £15-20 on some Toyo Proxes T1-R's??

any views or opinions good or bad much appreciated

Did you buy a set mate?
After reading the replies I went and bought 4!
They arrived last night and I got them fitted today. Haven't got them wore inproperly yet but on a soaking wet road home they drove very good and held well steering through big puddles. No bad marrers from them!
