Default Khumo Ecsta MX ?

I need tires for Road Racing and want to use the tires to and from the track. I am impressed with what I have read about these tires and they are so inexpensive. Are they much of a compromise to some of the other more expensive tires.

I am starting to sound like an evagelist but I really like these tires. I used Bridgestone S03s last year and fell like I gave up nothing with the MXs.

I like mine. I think the S03 may be slightly better in standing water and just a tad quieter. For the dollar the MX can't be beat.

No they are either almost equal (KD's) or much better then any tire out there. I have 295's on mine and will not use another tire on the Vette till someone else realizes that High Performance tires don't need to cost $300+ dollars. They are a top three street/track tire for the Vette you'll be very happy.
