Not the Kumhos. They blow. I don't know the others.

Blow like are not good or blow, like Firestone's on Ford Explorer's?

Kumho makes good tires, but the 712's that you have pictures are the worst tire I've ever had.

I ran a set of those Ecsta 712s on my S6. They didn't blow out like the whole Firestone deal. They were just non-grippy tires and were downright scary in the rain. The only good thing I can say about them is that they last freakin forever. Of course, that's a bad thing when you want them to wear out so you can replace them with something that has a modicum of grip.

That's funny cause my 712's actually gripped quite well, but they wore out extremely fast. (aligned)

...the first summer I ran them, they were very good in the rain, and really good in the dry. 2 things though; They are LOUD, and tend to flat spot overnight. Once they get back up to temp the next day (2 miles or so) they stop going &lt;wub wub wub&gt; and smooth out, but remain LOUD. I would dare say they are just as loud as my Hakkapeliitta's in the winter. Now, after season 2, they are ALL DONE, I mean, like, corded... and I've yet to do a track day. Cheap right now doesn't always equal value in the long run.

Since I too, am on a meager budget, I'm planning on Potenza RE750's, as I've run them on my car before, and thought they were really good tires, but again a bit loud, ( a trade off I can live with to a point ).

A friend with a 540i runs Bridgestone Pole Position S03s, and raves about them. If I can swing it, I may go that route.

Sorry I don't have the answer, just an opinion, and more food for thought.
