Neil Felstead Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Does anyone know where I can get Kumho Ecsta V70A's from, in the 205/45 16 variety I've been quoted £101 + the dreaded per corner from Protyre or suggest an alternative. Cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k80rum Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 My apologies for the slight thread hijack, but how are Kuhmo's regarded in the tyre world? I hope the V70As are better than the Kuhmo Ecstra Widowmakers (sorry, Supras) I've got on the back of the Lexus at the mo.. they're the first Kuhmo's I've ever experienced and at 275/35's even the 2 ton behemoth can spin them without trying, in the wet at least it means I can enjoy the fun of powersliding without getting the Caterham wet I s'pose! Rather worryingly Kuhmos are offered by this Finnish driftschool here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 V70As are on a par with Toyo R888 and Yoko A048R - see here. Available in hard/medium and soft compounds. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Bad image but great tire, nearly same grip as ACB10 but much cheaper and no tramlining. My experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
