Dunlop sp sport 225-40-18 (bad tire? good tire?)

I was going to get the Kumho Ecstas but they guy at the tire place told me the dunlops get the same milleage and actually are a little better in the handling area....They are like 30 bucks cheaper a tire...i went ahead and told him to get the dunlops but i wanted to hear from anyone on here if that was a bad or good idea..i still have time to switch it over to kumho...

You REALLY need to be much more specific. Many Kumho's are called 'Ecsta'...which model are you looking at? 711? 712? ???

AND

many Dunlops are SP Sports...again which model???
