Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello: After selling my '92 C2, I'm very close to buying a '99 996. The car has Kumho Ecsta MX tires in pretty good condition (probably 5,000 street miles). When it comes time for replacement, I'd likely go with a proper "N" designated tire. Was wondering if any of you have experience with these Kumhos and if I should make a point of them being the "wrong" tires with the seller. In general, what experiences have you had comparing N to non N designated tires on your 996's? Thank You, Joe Rothman St. Louis, MO 944S2 former KMR Firehawk series race car 996... soon

The MX is the only Kumho I have heard good review about. It's more for auto cross and dry weather I think but it's actually very good tires.

I have them. Did not like the "loose" feeling regarding the sidewall. I would stay away. My .02. Chad
