    Default New Kumho Installed

    Felt an immediate improvement In the ride quality! The rear is much more firm, much less side to side movement. Great tire, awesome price, installed. Thanks to Derick, And Ron from Netzley Tire! Tom

    I'd like to say that I can't wait to get mine...
    But I wouldn't mind putting another 1500 miles on the OEM!

    I got front tires from the Netzleys at SpyderQuest. They do a great job.

    3500 on the crapenda. Not down to the wear bars yet in the center. Might have been good for another 1000-1500 miles. The out side looked brand new. Will be doing a trip next month of 1000 miles so I played it safe. Tom

    We put the Kumho Ecsta AST on the rear about 2000 miles ago and it still looks like new. We'll have to compare notes on how long they last as many of us have them now. I agree that ride quality is good with this tire!

    I did "squeeze" 8000 miles out of my crapenda OEM rear tire!!!! It looked like a "slick" in the middle and still had good tread on the edges -- what a "crapenda" tire!
    Happy and safe rydin'

    just did measurements on my oe kendas, with a little over 4k on them i have 8/32" left. I would expect that will give me 10k on the tires before i change them. Just a note, i don't wait until they are bald or i see steel.

    I have about 1500 miles on my Kumho Ecsta AST . . . and have ridden it in just about every possible situation, twisties, highway, byway, pouring rain and pouring rain with gusting crosswinds. It sticks to the road and does a great job. I am very happy with it.
