so the difference between the fronts and back is a bit smaller ....
Why Kumho?

the new tires are going to be a little taller but thats not a real big deal...a lot of people run those those tire sizes and so far i havent heard any complaints...IMO the Kumho MX has some of the best bang for buck....

upgrade to the wider tires. you can carry much greater turn in speed. only problem is that you might rub if you are agressively lowered. and go for the re050a. great price, and much harder sidewalls than the ecsta mx, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on your perogative.

Well I decided im gonna go with the RE050A. Im gonna have to go with the bigger sizes, since its the only size available for OEM wheels. Might as well try it out once. But im looking forward to see how the size difference will affect the performance. Ill be running these at willow springs next month. Lets see how they do.
