i think the kumhos would be a k11, the k11s are a excellent tyre, grip well, hardly no world noise, and do last a while even under harsh driving, i got them on my ED

my choice would be Nankang NS-II, after having had them and compared them to Kumho Ecsta and Dunlop SP3000A's

I've used Dunlop SP3000's, Kumho Ectsas, Maxxis MAV1, Bridgestone Potenzas, Toyo TPG's and now Toyo Proxes 4 on the back of my XR6T. I definately like the Toyos the best, the TPG has just been replaced by the Proxes 4 and it seems just as good. As a bonus they're not expensive either in 235/45/17 either

like everyone else, I too want a bargain, but Bowsaw says it best when he says.... "get what you pay for" I pay $325 a tyre for my 18's they are the dunlop 9000's (fitted to SS and XR) these tyres I will swear by!!! They hurt me a little more in the back pocket (they're actually worth roughly $450  ), but they stop great, don't wear fast, and work well in the wet and the dry. I know you're all wanting 19's, so you 'should' be paying more than me, but some of you get s**t cheap... others get bent over with cheapies.
Remember, it's the only thing between you and the road stopping you, can be the difference between a corrected slide, or a pole... Please be wise in buying what you will, you don't spend a tonne of cash on your car, then spend sweet FA on your tyres, and if you do, its because you got quality tyres cheap! Not cheap quality tyres...

I have that "clear brand" on my 19's. And you are right, they are s**t. It rained the other day, and i came round a corner after stopping at the lights, and accelerated slghtly and the a** went straight out. The only reason i bought cheap ones was because im probably going to race with them at drag day, but straight after its much better rear tyres for me!
