Hey all.
I am new to the list. I just found it last week and I think its great. I purchased my first Max, a 97 SE last March and it is the best car I have ever owned!
Anyway, the original owner put a new set of tires on the car probably a couple years ago (Goodyear RSA's..stock I think) and well...they kinda suck. They don't grip too well...and heck, they aren't even good in the rain. They probably have 40-50% tread left. Well, I noticed on http://www.tirerack.com they have the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 in my size (215/55 16) for $75! Does anyone out there have them and are they any good???? I live in New England where it does tend to snow in the winter....are they comparable to the stock RSA's in the snow??

So far so good>>>
I can't make a direct comparison cuz of the size difference. When i had my RSA's they were fairly decent... they were extremely quiet and offered decent grip. I figure the 712s should do well in water... haven't had a chance to test that yet cuz of the weather here...
