Kumho Ecsta Aroma 205/60/16 Thoughts?

Oops, I posted this in the 1800 tech section. I meant to post it here.

I found this interesting tire while shopping for another performance tire. I wonder if its a cheesy gimick or an actual quality perormance tire... I hate to be the guiney pig on this one! Any body know anything about it?

I want my tire to stick to the asphalt and could careless how it smells doing so. Go buy yourself a high performance directional summer tire. I use a Cooper Zeon 2XS . You WILL NOT get a million miles out of the high performance tire but it will stay under you in the twisties.

Those were my thoughts exactly! I don't care what it smells, sounds, or tastes like ....lol. I was running on a Yokohama as430 last year and loved it. Now I am trying to decide if I want to go with the same tire or try something new. I'm not worried about its longevity, ANY ct is going to wear longer than a mct. I would like to find the softest stickiest tire that I can in a 60-65 sidewall.

The problem is that most of the upper end high performance tires only go up to a 55 sidewall (Like your Cooper)

I'm curious to know what burning lavevender smells like.....
