Looks nice. I couldn't find anyone willing to put those tires on my factory wheels. How do you like those MXs? I was thinking about the same setup...I kind of want a 255/40 front, but the 245/40 doesn't really look any shorter than stock

I'm not a fan of Kuhmos personally.

I never had other tires so I can't compare, but
Compare to stock bridgestones, side wall is softer. in performance wise, i like hard sidewalls like OEM ones but for comfy, my car just got soo much comfortable and lillte bit of reduced road noise. I haven't pushed to the limit, but There is more grip for sure
Since side wall is softer and ride smoother, I'm thinking of beefing up my coilovers little bit.

^^ Looking good! Very nice.

I've gone to softer sidewall tires as well, and I really like the more comfortable and less noisy ride. I don't think there is any compromise in performance, grip, etc; in fact, they seem better in most conditions and a lot better on wet roadways. The softer sidewalled initially feel a little "sloppy," but you adjust quickly (and they feel "normal" after just a few hours of driving).

I had the MX's.. Not too bad of a tire at all, but when the tread starts wearing out they suck.

As for the car, a tad too low in the back for me, but nice setup, maybe get some aftermarket 18's for the nice tires

Thats a nice aggressive drop. Didn't know you could put 275s on the rear stock 18" wheels. Car looks good...
