Kuhmo 255/55/18?
Anyone have a 255/55/18 on 8.5" rims? Pics? It is time for some new shoes for the truck and I dont want to spend two bills a pop for another set of yokos(not to mention I dont think they are worth it). The cheapest 285/50 I could find are Nittos at $130ea. The only other size close to 29" is a 255/55. Kumho makes the EcstaSTX in that size and I really like the tread patter on them. It is a really good looking tire not to mention they are less than a hunded a piece. I have read good reviews on them and a buddy has a set of supras on his Cobra and they hooked pretty good and lasted forever (considering the way he drives the car). Any one tried them out yet?

Jerod.. I remembered you posting that a while back but forgotabout it and didnt do a search before I posted. Just did it on a whim.
Jeremy.. thats no big deal. Looks like my exhaust is going to have to hold off for a while anyway. I just droped a couple bills into my jetski and will have to buy some new tires within the month. I do have it all mapped and priced out though. Gonna cost me ~$350 to do what I want to.
Now... back to the to the tires!

Re: Kuhmo 255/55/18?
Well the lasted longer than my previous set of Nittos. They have been on since last March and currently have 38k miles on them so I really cant complain. I was just never really impressed with them as a performance tire though. The ride rough, wore uneven, didn't have tons of traction, and were extreamly noisy. Although they look badass, I cant see shelling out 200 bones a tire for another set. I am also fairly poor right now so cheap is the primary motivation right now. My only other option is a 285/50 Nitto 404 for $126ea.
