Kumho Ecsta XL. How do you guys rate them?

[KungFuPanda]

Just had an MOT on the S6 and both the fronts and backs are close to their legal limits. Previously the last owner had put a pair of Conti SC3 on the front and they have only lasted 7000 miles since they were put on in June 2011. Given that these cost over £250 a pop, I'd like my next set of tyres to last slightly longer.

This has led me to look at Kumho tyres. I have had them fitted to my previous TT without any problems and was wondering how they would fare on something heavier and more powerful. These will be the XL with the stiffer sidewalls. Do any of you guys run these on heavier vehicles?

Cheers for the advice guys. Looks like I'll be going for these. Price for four will be £640 fitted rather than over £1000 for Contis or the other big makes...
