anyone w/ kumho ecstas?


Did they get a hell of a lot noisier as time went on?

when i first got these tires I was suprised how quiet they were, but they have deteriorated to a freight-train-esque noise that is quite disturbing.

I only put around 3000 miles on the ecsta 711's before I got the 18's so they still sounded quiet.....

I've got about 3,000 on mine also. I have 17's and i dont think they make any noise at all. You might need to get them balanced again or maybe have it realigned. You shouldnt have any noise from a tire unless you got super swampers on a big @$$ truck

i got em too...but they haven't been on that long, maybe a month or so. but when i first got em, they sounded so loud when i had my window down. i jsut got used to em.....can't hear em at all now, cuz my radio is a lot louder. sorry i couldn't really answer your question tho.....i hope they don't get louder as they get older....that would suck

I dunno which ecstas i have i'll have to go out and look. I have the ZR rated tires, they were 85 a piece. I don't think they make any noise at all. Sounds the same as stock to me.
