Default Kuhmo ecsta STX availability?

Anyone know another place to look for these tires. The size I'm looking for is pretty much sold out everywhere and on backorder. I've tried tirerack, and discounttiredirect doesn't carry kuhmo ecsta's.

Never heard of the site before, they are about 20.00 more than tire rack though. Anyone ever dealt with this company before?

If you don't have a traction problem, you will with the Kuhmo ecsta tires!
Just my personal experience.

Can anyone back me up on this?

Well, I'm running 275 60 16 toyos with no traction problems but tire wear problems. I'm also not wanting to spend 200 a tire either.

I assume you are speaking of the ECSTA STX, but there are 10 other ECSTA subtypes.

What size are you looking for? These tidbits of information might help out.

Yes the stx. Well I'm looking at the different sizes and the one I need is on backorer. They have one about an inch less in width and 2 inches less in diameter. And they have another that is the same width and 2 inches taller than what I have now. How much of a difference would there be going from a 29" tire to a 31" ?

Significant enough to have the PCM set for the new tire height - IMO
