Question Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum

I have a 2002 Camry SE. I was considering getting some Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum V-Rated Tires? Does anyone have these Kumhos on their Camry? Do you like these tires?

I would never buy another kumho tires for my car. Road noise is horrible, u can hear the threads spinning when slowing down, etc. but they do handle good.

I have not had any exprience with Kumho in recent times. That should say something right there. Others have suggested Yokohama's in your region of the U.S.

I've had them before and they're great tires.
I'm tempted to dump these Bridgestone EL400's on my '11 LE with only 3K miles for those Primacy's for a smoother, quieter ride and better winter traction.Maybe the next time Michelin has a rebate I'll pick up a set.

The kelly brands tire are from Goodyear and price is cheaper than Goodyear and way cheaper than Michelin.

My suggestion is the Kelly Navigator touring gold seems good for an se camry v speed rated or the Kelly Navigator gold with an wet & dry traction rated 6/10 but s speed rated.

OHH EMM GEE man my road noise was horrible!! It's either defective or my tires were wider than yours? I dunno...

All my passengers were like.. what the hell is that noise? I said.. it's my tires' traction control in action.
