Everywhere I've checked has them backordered, looking for some kumho ecsta xs's in 275/40/17 or 285/40/17's. Would discount be able to get me a set of these? Not needing them yet, by april or so i will tho so hopefully places can get these more in stock!
that's good news! which out of those two sizes would fit best on a 9" rim? I've found a few places with 295's in stock but assuming that would be too wide for my rim.
You'll have optimum wear and performance running the 275/40-17 size. The 285 and 295 widths are a little to wide for a 9" wide wheel. Running a wide tire on a narrow wheel pinches the tire up which causes the carcass to flex in area's it's not designed to do so. This flexing generates heat which breaks the tire down faster.
