ecsta's are prob the quietest best riding tyre i ever used. best on wet when brand new. really really good at displacing water.

life is very short. 3 months

Care to explain WHICH ecsta?

I used the KH11 and 711 Ecstas, and those tyres were hard compounds......long life.

I'm assuming you used something like an Ecsta MX perhaps? Those are more extreme tyres...with lower treadwear.
