ECSTA 711
Anyone has experience with ECSAT 711? I am looking a set for my family car. I come across the ECSTA 711 and it looks like a TCB deal.
I want the next set of tires to have these charateristics:
1. TCB deal
2. Stiff sidewall (Millenia S has very soft springs)
3. Low noise (not much wheelwell sound insulation ether. I understand all summer tires are not supposed to be quiet.)
4. At least 30K miles life. I don't care nor want to pay for those ultra high milage tires, i.e. 65K miles. I like to change them every 2 to 3 years to keep them fresh.
From the feedbacks on TireRack, it looks like a great summmer tire but with wet traction/hydroplating issues
Thank you in advance for your advices.

fwMiata, have you use this tire before? Acutally some of the feedback in Tirerack gave pretty good comment on wet traction. Also, a lot of them have mixed use of autocross and street. Which led to wonder how applicable those comments on Tirerack are.keeps you on your toes

I have a set and am about to order another. I think they are great street tires for $40! They have been very predictable in wet or dry. They do lose grip earlier than most, but are very easy to control, as the go very slowly.......

I always liked the 712s better than the 711s. The silica based compounds in the 712s seemed to be grippier. The mac daddy Kumho is the MX - a fantastic tire.

My wife drives a 2001 Millenia. Last year we had to replace tires. The factory Michelins went 50K, only getting a little noisy at the end, so we ended up getting Michelins again. I also considered Bridgestone Potenzas (forget the exact model) and for a cheaper option Pirellis. P600 I think, maybe P6000. I have used Pirellis on several cars and been happy. They are also cheap at Sams.
I would not put the 711s on a family car. Frankly, I would not put those on any car but especially a family car.
