Kumho 215/45/17R tires

Anyone have it? Does it give a good ride quality on a Civic EX Coupe?

THANKS

I have heard a lot of good ride quality from quite a few members on the site. I am either going to get that or 225/45/17 so I can't order till summer work gets me some $$$

I have the 711s. Ride quality is fine. I was going to get the 40 series, but there are 2 seasons in the Chicago area, winter and construction.

I have 215/45/17 Ecsta 712's...they are sweet! Good traction, they seem to wear good, not very loud, great bang for the buck!

I've driven on mine since yesterday afternoon and they ride nicely. It's a good combination of ride quality mixed with the grip that racing tires offer -- without going too grippy and making day to day driving a fight to stay relatively straight on some roads.

I have the 205/45/17's, the 712, and they work great. Even has the built in indicator in the tire thread so that you know when its time to rotate them.
