I personally am using the Ecsta 711 Tires, and really like them a lot. As to the 712, the only negative comments I've heard about it, are that it's crap in snow, ice, and slush, but you should expect this of any tire that isn't a snow tire, particularly one that isn't even all season!
My bet would be that the 712 is a better tire than the AVS Intermediate, if only because it's many years newer, having just come out this year. This is of course speculation on my part. :) Don't the intermediates have a somewhat low treadwear? Maybe even half of the Kumhos..
Last time I checked, the Kumho 712 were # 2 ranking in Tire Rack's customer survey, in it's category, that would seem to say enough for me to grab a set if I needed some now!
