Default Just ordered a set of Kumho Ecsta SPTs from Tire Rack...
but it was sure hard not to buy the General Exclaim UHPs at $81/ea, for the price vs performance. The Kumhos were a better buy at $87/ea... they sell elsewhere for much more. I've given up on higher priced tires, since I wore through my $180 GY Eagle F1s in a short 6 months, after doing several autocross events.

Isn't the SPT an all season tire? For autocross?

Default I don't like them at all, very good tread life but not that grippy
i really preferred the Falkens 512 over the SPT's.
