Re: Kumho Ecsta MX tires (Tv Commercial)
Do you have the number? What front size do they not have? I need 265/35/18's and I thought those were listed as available. :confused:

You must have overlooked the listing then, probably because the sizes are oriented by aspect ratio, because the 295/35-18 size for the Ecsta MX is shown there.
I'd like to know the price for (2) 275/40-17 & (2) 295/35-18 Ecsta MX tires.

and there are no 295's.
Interestingly though they will be offering run-flats for coupes and verts next year! :D
I bought a set of MX's in C5 Coupe sizes for track days and they work great!

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX tires (adamsocb)
Hello, Since Kuhmo does not make 265/45/17's, what are you guys using up front to match the rear using Kuhmo mx tires? Luke could not recommend me another size except going to a 275/40/17 upfront which I do not know if that will cause a problem. Please help! Would like to get these for the price! Thanks

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX tires (xtream1)
the z06 used a 265 40 17 up front, trust me the 275 looks just fine. the 275/295 MX combo is the hottest thing going for the z06 wheels. i just heard the 295 35 18 is available, time to get in line & order.

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX tires (Luke@tirerack)
Since Kuhmo does not make the correct tire size for the Z06 up front, does anyone have experience with Toyo tires? They have the correct size, front and back, and are priced about ($100.00 more) the same as the Kuhmo's MX. Thanks
For the guy who is running 275/295 mx combo, do have any clearance problems? Is your car lowered? Pictures?

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX tires (Arnie)
Talked to the Kumho technical rep yesterday about the 315/35/17 in the Ecsta MX. He was upset that the bean counters would not let them do this tire now. Some guys are going to the 335/35/17 Kumho Ecsta V700 for street and racing and having great results. Anyone running these tires. Plan to widen my back GS wheels to 12" for the 335's

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX tires (Luke@tirerack)
Luke, Wish you would pick up the Nitto 555 also. Hate to say had to shop for them somewhere else. Maybe by the time the Camaro SS needs a set you will. What's the chances of you carrying the Nitto in the future? I really been impressed with them since I put a set on the Vette. :confused:

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX tires (Luke@tirerack)
hope you do, the 555r is the CHOICE drag radial, they also are making the road race version. even there road tire line is pretty decent
