Need help finding tires
I searched and decided i am going to go with the Kuhmo ESCTA MX on my car. I wanted to get 245/45/16's to put on my stock wheels but can not find them online anywhere. If anyone knows where i can get a hold of them i would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Austin

They were probably suggesting them as replacements for the stock tire size. Kumho does make the MX in 225/50-16.
I had Kumho 712's on last year and they did very well, even on the track, but about halfway through their treadlife they really lose a lot of grip. Right now i'm running Hankook Ventus R-S2's and love 'em. Haven't tried them on the track yet, but they have much more grip in straight line acceleration and don't break loose as easily as the 712's did. You can also get them at edgeracing.com for ~$100 apiece with free shipping. To me it seems like the best performance for the money by far. I also daily drive my FD and expect to get about 12-15k miles out of em. I don't want a tire that lasts longer than that because tires that last that long tend to lose their grip.
I really wanted some Azeni 615s, but they don't make them in 245/45-16 either. Arg.
