Daily Tyres?
Hi everyone!
I need some experience advice about selection of 205/50-15" tyres...
My 75 Turbo is 90% daily car.
For now, my choice is Kumho Ecsta SPT (KU31), because of good balance between price and performance, but... i would like to hear some other opinion.

Get the SPT. Remember these are not the max performance tires. They are ok for occasional track use. But one thing they are good at is low road noise and ride comfort! These are very suitable for a mid to high end daily driver tires.
Also, in the US at least, Kumhos are much cheaper than Michelin, Pirelli or Conti.

I have a pair of KU31's on my 2.5 75. The other 2 are Kumho 712 which were replaced by the KU31. I bought them because they are one of the cheapest 'sports' tyres while still offering good performance. (1st year apprentices don't get paid enough ) I'm really happy with them, although I don't know anything else. Haven't tried them on the track yet.

Well I ordered a set of Kumho SPT for my 75. The Azenis and concrete roads just made it a little to rough for my liking. Some roads which I frequently use here in NorCal aren't that great. The smaller roads are nice, but the freeways are pretty bad. Lots of ripples, very abrupt joints or transitions, craters, etc.
Still have my Yoko Advan A-048 for track use.

I've run Pirelli, GF Goodrich which were terrible, falken which were fantastic and believe it or not Nankangs, which are pretty good in the wet to a certain degree lol, but for the price, very happy. I still havent had a tyre as good as the Pirelli dragos i once had, they were an amazing tyre.
So after running an expensive tyre, its good to see how the other cheaper brands stack up. Falken i think would be my choice when i get new rubber again.
And the BF Goodrich's that are still on my set of 15's will be destroyed.
In a fun way of course...?

Sira, you are so "over-shaven"!!!
You had better to tell as what kind of tyres you prefer?
