Kumho ECSTA Tires

Hi guys
does anyone have first hand experience with Kumho ECSTA tires? These are relatively new to the market high end performance tires from Kumho; online reviews were not bad and the key argument is $500 savings vs. Michelin.
THoughts?

Pics of tires? Full internet of them, with reviews...
I think more interesting would be if Panemera owners would write personal impressions about them? I will do that when I will have what to write.

For all four installed? Great price !

Would love to have your thoughts on the experience

Currently I am on Michelin Pilot Supersport, little profile left after 17,000miles/28000km, they are still okay on dry roads, but a slippery challenge on wet roads...

Kumho tires are fine, but there are better choices. Cost is low on the priority list for me for tires.

Kumho ECSTA PS91 vs Pirelli P Zero Hero

how I could write the price for installed when I mentioned that time that just bought them and not fitted yet ....

Anyway, now I have installed them, and can say one thing - they are definitely better then previous I had Pirelli P Zero Hero ZR20XL (N1) , especially on a wet road. Will see how quickly they will wear off !
