I wanna buy these for my seventh gen gts rims as strictly summer tires. What's the consensus on this tire for the 16 inch GTS rims? And how do they look/feel/handle/last?

i don't like the 711's, they don't stick very well. i like the 712's better. about the same tread life. i have the nankang ns-2's and i really like them.

damn, those kumhos are the only thing i can afford at tire rack. I need some 16's for the gts rims.

decent summer tires for the price I got em in my gts rims

CCCRAAAAAPPPPPPPP they suck soooo bad.....if i brake hard they would brake loose and slide really easily and if it got a lil overcast and the road cooled down a lil yup no traction and oh did i say i don't like them at all>?!?! and water you can forget about....but your getting this from the kid who used those in the SNOW,,,,,,,FYI don't do that you'll go round and round and round

i just bought some for my 3000GT.. They are alright.. seem to be alittle noisey and the traction is SO SO. For the price they are fine in my opinion.

didn't you have a post complaining abuot when you corner you have no traction and you whip out the back of the car in a FWD car ?!? !? ^^

i got those on my 17 rims and it okay..i would perfer the 712 or the newer one asx...but now i am running the 16 gts 7 gen rims and they are wearning out... i need to get them replace..i looking on buy either the yokohama avs es 100 or falkin 512...but if u got the money then buy them..

With the celica..with all celica's i have driven... The back doesnt whip out either... the front understeers in the rain.

711's are on the 3000GT... no sliding around with the 3 sets of tires ive had on it

i have 7th gen gts rims with the 712s...theyre great

I have the Kumho Ecsta Supra's, they're decent.

A buddy of mine has them on a mustang and he complains about both wet traction and sidewall being too stiff.

if you wanna pay a little more the yokohama es100's outperform 'em

those 2 links are the test results from tire rack - and the reason i have my es100's

I like my 711's although they didnt last me but about 9 months. . . oops too much at the track. I think they are pretty good track tires once they have burned out a little bit, but for year round tires I say go with 712's a friend of mine with a 240 sx auto crosses on them and he likes them. Its your car do what you want. They are good tires, I have no complaints. I have enjoyed every day with my 711's, I will more than likely get more 711's after this set.

mine didnt last either. i really like my z rated sumitomos alot better.

i have 712s on my car, they suck ass. no grip and very temprimental when it comes to rain and different weather conditions, ill never buy kumhos again.

I'd go with the supra 712's they are good for that amount of money, they work good on vegas ground, but then agian the roads are so hot here as long as it's not raining almost anything sticks. So for summer tires I would go with them, imo

Same here... supra's on 7th gen 16" GTS rims - 250/50/zr16. Very nice compared to the Pirelli p6000 i had before. It all depends on how much money you want to spend and how you drive. I found the 712's to be a good compromise between $$$/performance... Id rather run 2 sets of these until 50% used than 1 set twice pricier until they are no good at all.

they dont stick at all...
