Default Kumho Tires ECSTA???

Anyone know anything about these tires?
335 30 19 KUMHO ECSTA W710 SCCA APPROVED DOT LEGAL
I see that they do not make a matching size for the front but the price for two is the same as one BFG? Wanted to know what you think.

Default Not sure what size you are going to run on the front

but I have a 335/30/19 NT05 on my car with a matching 275/35/18 on the front. Very nice sticky tire with a 200 tw. I believe in a performance comparison the Kumo's were a tick quicker in autocross, but not as fast on the big track.

I think these have a treadwear of 30. That's pretty low. The Kumho Ecsta version that I see most people run are the XS summer version that have a treadwear of 180 and a lot more size options. The XS version has gotten very good reviews and done well in comparison tests, but if you're running some events that have a minimum treadwear limit of 200, you're outta luck.

I have these on all four corners and love them they are great in dry and wet weather. When they get hot they are very sticky. Great tire.
