Set of 2 Kumho Ecsta PA31 225/55R16 99V XL Tires Fits: 2013-16 Mercedes-Benz E350 Base, 2000-04 Ford Mustang Base

The Kumho PA31 replaced some Toyo Extensa HP tires on a Corolla FX16 GT-S set-up for autocross. These are strickly street tires as I run 200 treadwear tires when racing. The Kumho's are WAY better than the Toyo's. The Kumho's stick much better, the Toyo's were always a little greasy at turn-in. The Kumho's seem stiffer with the same air pressure. They inspire more confidence is turns. Ride quality for both is similar. The Kumho's are also better in the wet too! The Toyo's were made in Malaysia. The Kumho's in Vietnam. Both sets were purchased from SimpleTire along with tires for other cars. Always have top notch service from SimpleTire.

Bought these Kumho's to replace Toyo Extensa HP's. They are on an '87 Corolla FX16. The Kumho's were sticky right away. They was no greasy feel like the Toyo's (which never went away). The sidewall tread has a curve which is more conducive to handling, which I like. I was surprised how well these tires handled. I'm quite pleased! I typically run 200 treadwear tires on this car. However, it is parked outside and I need something that is resistant to freezing temperatures. The car is not a daily driver, but is prepped for autocross so it doesn't get a lot of street miles.
