Another tire question... (khumo and Toyo users please)
Can anyone tell me all sizes that will fit stock '02 wheels. Mainly concerned with the width. Also those of you with Toyo and Khumo tires... what sized do you use and where do you get them? On tire rack, the only matched sets that come up for stock wheel sizes are the Goodyear OEM, Michelins and Pirrelli's. Thanks for any info.

I am running kuhmo ecsta MX tires 275 up front and 295 out back. I like em a lot. They are very sticky and after 2000 miles ... no complaints. They grab well on the track too. Better than F1's. And way better than run flats.

Im using the toyo proxes t1-s 295/35/18 R, 265/45/17 F. They hook up pretty well
I bought them through discount tire. I also heard that the nitto 555 is a really good tire.

Re: Another tire question... (Piranha)
I am running Kuhmos 295/35/18 on the rears and like them alot. They are great in wet weather too. I like them far better than the OEM tires F1's. I got a great deal on them from an independent dealer (tire shop).

i run the toyo T1 proxies in stock sizes. they work pretty well, keep in mind they are not going to hook as well as f1 or maybe the kumhos but they will definitely last longer with a 280 treadwear rating and 2/32" more tread. i have racing slicks for the track so i didn't mind giving up a little performance.

When you are ready to get tires, let me know (tfw@eudoramail.com). Since you are in Columbus, I can hook you up with someone who can get really good prices on tires.

275/40/17front 295/35/18rear Great ride, seems to grip as well as the F1's I had on it, but the wet traction is 20 times better for half the price. Bought mine from Tire rack for $770 delivered. I can post a pic if you'ld like( that is if I can figure out how to post one :lol: ).

I run 265/35-18 and 295/35-18 Kumho. Had them for 5-6K and far better than Goodyear Runcraps in dry or wet.
