Default So much for my asking about Kumho ECSTA Supra tyres... seems Kumho Australia
do not import 225/45 x 17 size into Oz..for whatever reason.. weird.. they do however have 235/45s though I'm not sure if its a good thing to put them on the standard 7.5 rim..any advice there? I'm also looking at Falkens as a possibility and would welcome any comments. I've had to cross a couple of brands off my list because even though they have the right size..the load ratings are too low and Insurance Companies here are very hard on claims if the load ratings aren't sufficient.

Default Tire books by the mfg's say 235/45's fit fine onto stock TT wheels.
It must be true, the computer at the tire store at CostCo said so.
