Anyone know if the kumho ecsta spt's run wide or narrow?

im currently running conti sport contact2's in 255/35-19 and 285/35-19 and they are just about toast.

in the past i've run falkens and those ran too narrow/stretched for my tastes.

anyone have any experience with the kumho ecsta spt?

 

they run dead on. 275 on a 9.5" rim is dead flush

 

Look at the tire specs on The Tire Rack and compare them to what you've successfully run in the past.

 

because thats almost too wide a tire for that rim. i ran a 255/35/19 in front on a 19X10 slight stretch. the side wall looks too square i like a rounded shoulder and these tires get loud so theres that too. wouldnt get them again but just my .02

 

No it isn't. For non-competitive driving, one may run a standard 275 on a 9-10" wheel. A 9.5" wheel is the ideal size for a 275 tire. A 10" wheel, on the other hand, should have a 265 minimum, if not a 275 and up to a 295.

 

oh right. thanks for reminding me why i usually don't give my opinion

there is the answer to your question sir and if you have a 10" wide wheel you are in luck it is listed to be in range.

 

thanks for the replies.

im running a 285 on a 10.5" wheel in the rear, and 255 on a 9" wheel up front.
i know they will fit, i was just concerned that they would be a little stretched like the falken 285s i previously had. (which i do not want)

but after comparing them to the conti sportcontact2s specs, the kumhos will look like they will work.

actually, my first choice tires are the vredesteins, but they dont make it in a 285/35-19.
the kumho's are pretty cheap and i think i might give em a try.

 

my brother had the kumho tires on his rx8 and they were great tires for the money.. lasted him 30k miles before he swapped them out..
