Is this tire any good?

Going to be ordering new rims in the next upcoming days, looking for a quality tire at an affordable price. I see Kumho Ecsta SPT's are very affordable and have a good amount of tread wear compared to a lot of other Z-Rated tires.

Anybody who has ever ran these on their wheels, how were they??

Also anyone know what size tires are recommended for 19x8 ET:37 and 19x9 ET:39 staggered wheels on a 2007 328xi Coupe, e92?

Iv personally run Kumho SPT's on my own car and I do like them a lot. They have done great for the price they are worth. Its one of the most bang for the buck tires I would recommend.

225/255 or a 235/265 combo would work on your setup. You can throw on another 12mm spacer in the rear if you would like a more flush fitment.

Glad to hear that! Im prob gonna go down that route on tires, pick myself up a set of kumho's. Would rear spacers affect the car in anyway by putting them on an Xi model? I ran 12mm spacers on my e90 (Non Xi) with my oem 197's and they sat exactly flush, it looked that much better with them.

What would be a safer size to run, would 225/255 be stretching the tires alittle? I know a 235/265 prob would add a little more meat to the tires, protecting the lip if i ever come close to a curb
