Big Yellow Gets New Wheels

Here they are. BBS RX (17 x 7.5 ET35) with Kumho Ecsta SPT (215/45/17).

For your viewing pleasure:




Thanks to my father who was generous enough to invite me to visit and use his lift.

Kumho SPT

MisterDangerPants,

I am seriously considering the Kumho SPT and can't believe it. I am a die hard european tire guy but have been impressed with both what I have heard about the performance of Kumho tires and the low cost. Could you please post back with your impressions of the SPT's in particular?

Thanks.

Thanks for all the compliments!

Well, I don't know if I'm really much of an expert when it comes to reviewing tires. My prerequisites for purchasing tires were that the tires (A) are round and (B) are cheap. So far, though, I like them. They're quiet and I like that.

Well, I went to the local MINI web site and they list the R90 at $419 and Tire Rack sells the BBS RX for $329.
