I ordered some Kumho Ecsta 712's 215/45/17 to fit the stock rims because my MichMxM4's are bald. But the tirerack is calling me giving me some crap, about how the tires are not up to our load rating. Should I get them anyway. I really need tires now, I can't drive down I-10 at over 55mph without the VSA going off and my car floating around like a boat. Any problems with the Kumho's blowing out? Any other suggested tires that are in our load rating.

 

Anyone else had this problem with tirerack

 

why would you order 215/45 thats so under stock roll...you need 235/45 and thats still alittle under just alittle...

 

are you sure those won't rub I do have pro-kits.

 

I had my Kumhos Supra Ecsta for almost 5 months and put 5K miles on them, and i never had a problem whatsoever. I can tell u that the stock tires vs the Kumho is like night and day. The Kumho just gripppsss on dry and wet. I ordered my tire on Discount Tire Direct and they never told me about those load rating, they just told me that if I'm going for 45 series tire i had to choose the next widest to 215 which is 225or235 so it wouldn't throw my speedo off.

 

Your 225's don't rub do you have a drop? What is the biggest width we can put on stock rims?

 

235/45

 

My CL-S is not drop yet but it's a coming project, our stock wheels is 17X7; some people in the board went 225 or 235 on a stock rims. The 235 is the widest you can go for the CL-S rims, and I never heard of CL-S owner putting 245 in 17X7 rims that's to much unless it's 17X7.5 or 8... I'm pretty sure you will not rub on stock rims with 215/45/17 with prokit, but pretty sure it might throw of your speedo calibration; correct me if I'm wrong guys...

 

acctually there is someone on the board with 245's on stocks

 

Damn, 245 on our stocker that's pushing it..

 

i'm running the toyo t1s proxies @ 235x45x17 w/comptech springs and i don't run at all. goldtypes is running the Kumho's w/ctech springs at 225x45x17 w/o problems.

 

Cool guess i'll have to change them,thanks
