Re: SUBYDOO Needs New Shoes

I used two sets of Kumhos Ecstas on my Claret car when I had it. I found them to be good.

We don't get snow here, much, but they were good on sheet ice. I also liked the fact that they were good in the wet, very important here for a lot of the time.

They were quiet, even when the tread was well worn, and they were grippy enough, and because of the soft sidewalls they rode comfortably and suited the suspension of the SVX.

That last in fact is why I bought a second set, rather than go for a different or more upmarket make.

If I was to put it in a nutshell I would say that they suit the SVX and they may perform a little less than best-of-breed, but way beyond their cost bracket.
