Kuhmo ECSTA SPT

**karfreek** · 11-16-2006, 10:21 PM

Is anyone using these tires? I am thinking of using a 245/50-18, as they have a OD of 27.7 and the stock contis have a OD of 28.0. So, pretty close. And the price cant be beat.

Any input?

I have used Kuhmos on many cars and have had great success. Better than Good Year and Michelin.

The 28.0 dia is a mistake in the Continental specs. The actual size is 28.6 inches. You can verify this yourself, my measuring the circumference with a tape measure and dividing by 3.14.

Yeah, I have 'em in a 20 sizing. Very good grip wet or dry. Running 245/35 on front and 275/35 on rear. Happy so far. I also run Kuhmo Ecstas on my stock rims. So far they are wearing very good and have excellent traction as well.
