Default Kumho ECSTA MX Run Flats?

Need to replace my Firestone Firehawks Run Flats and saw Kumho ECSTA MX Run Flats for $786.00 on Tire Rack site. The Firestones are $1,130.00. This represents a savings of almost $350. I don't race or autocross, it's a daily driver and I have one year left on lease. I squeezed over 35,000 miles out of Firestones and want to know if anybody has experience with these or should I spend the extra bucks.

OUrs just came in last week. I ordered them from tire rack in the first week of November. Kumho is just lsow in making production runs of them or something. I havent put them on yet though. THey will be replacing the run flats that are OEM to the car. Not sure if they are the stock ones though (second owners)

I'll try to find this post again and update you on how they feel.
