does anyone have any experience with Wynstar tires???....im about to buy a wheel/tire package and i can choose from the Wynstar Exocet or Kumho 711.

i want something with a long treadlife too....how long do the Kumho's usually last from daily driving???

any input would be helpful.
 
I've NEVER heard of wynstar... Kuhmo 711 are defintely cheap tires though. To see plenty of reviews of them and some tests go to tirerack.com Plenty of people will have rated their treadlife and its usually a good way to compare vs. other tires in that class.
 
i've never heard of wyndstar either. chances are they suck.

as far as kumho's go I've ridden on the 712's and they were OK for the price. I'm also guessing that either tire will give you hell when you try to keep traction. just something to think about
 
I had the Khumo 712s. Pretty good tire for the money. Really excellent in the rain. After about 12K miles of driving there was still well over half the tread left. I now have Khumo Ecsta MXs. They stick to the ground quite a bit better. If you can afford them, then go for those. I have never heard of the other tire.
 
i have the wynstar exoset in the front and they have pretty good grip when theyre new but i have installed many kumhos on many cars and kumhos are definatly a better tire. they re still both a better bang for the buck compared to other more expensive brand names that claim more performance.
