Carlton, would you be able to give us an updated report on your Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum tires please? I have 40,000 miles on my Michelins and it looks like I will need tires in the next 4,000 or 5,000 miles also. I am considering buying these tires as well. Please advise on mpg changes, if any, road noise, and road feel. Most new tires are quieter than the worn-out ones that are replaced, so that may be hard to analyze. Thanks!
