    Default Ordered Kumho 712s, I hope they fit (Jeff?).....

    Jeff, did you, or do you, have the 712s on your ride? I have ordered 225/55/R16s and seem to recall a discussion regarding rubbingon strut housings. I believe (hope) that the kumhos are a safe bet.

    Anyhow, I haven't paid for them (yet).

    Later,

    I also have 712's, 235's on the front and 255's in the rear. No rubbing at all. The ecsta supra 712's are pretty decent tires, but when they become worn they create excessive noise that can be heard in the cockpit.
