Default tires?

during the winter i want to buy a new set of tires, come around spring time. I think im going to get the Kumho Ecsta MX's...ive only heard good things about them. The big question is what size tires...this is what i was planning on doing, let me know what you think

255/40/18 in front

275or285/35/18 in rear

do the kumho ecsta mx's even come in these tire sizes...if anyone has kumhos on their rides or any suggestions on tire sizes i would really appreciate it...thanks guys

IMO Kumhos will give you the best ride of you life for about 5000 miles lol. I had a set and they were bald before I knew it and I did not even drive very hard on them You do get a lot of bang for your buck though. Are you buying them for performance or just because they are cheap?

Well what ever your reaseons, here you go.

Although I do not see the specific sizes you are asking for, this should get you in the ball park

A buddy of mine has them on his 2000 and he loves the grip they have for a street tire but hes pissed right off how they are worn out so fast. He went through a set from march till august but he drives around quite a bit.
