Hmmm. They look like Kumho Ecsta SPT (great tire by the way) and I'm guessing 225/45/17

245/45/17?

really doesn't look like that will fit. Plus, the tall size must suck acceleration out. Mounted yet?

Hehehehe...

Noooo... Getting closer though...

They are mounted and have been driven on.... only rubbing in the rear on inner lips of the outer plastic fender liner... And thats only when i hit a decent bump. The rail road tracks I go over everyday don't make them rub...

Another hint and teaser...

Then I'm guessing they must be 235/40/17s. The tread appears identical to the Kumho SPTs

I guess I hadn't compared the pics side by side but they are very similar. I'd be interested in what you think of the Potenzas after 1-2k miles. I really like the SPTs we recently put on my wife's MCC.
