I had 205/40/17 Kumho Ecsta 711s and 712s on my other car. My major common problem I found with the Kumhos is that after having these tires on for a while, they would get large bubbles in the side walls (Which would blow out unannounced). They also had a habit of wearing out quickly on my car too. I'm going to give a set one last chance on the Beetle, so I'm hoping the next set last me.
