Re: Acceptable differences in Tire Sizes 850

I totally agree with you on the tire choices.

I think I saw the Kuhmos for about $95US as well (no mounting or balancing or old tire disposal charge included in this price). I'm sure if I go to my tire guy, he can get me a better price. For example, the Michelin Pilot sport is found in most places for about $315-$330CAN (all prices included, i.e. 15% tax, balancing, mounting, old tire disposal charge etc.), he could sell them to me for $285CAN all prices included.

Most places that had the Toyo Proxes T1-S had them for about $250-$280CAN all prices included. He sold them to me for $215CAN all prices included.

I think I'm going to eventually go with the Kuhmo's in 205/45/17 as well. My buddy who is an engineer likes them from their design, and he has worked on race cars, so he can't be that wrong. And the fact that they are dirt cheap makes it just too inviting.

I'm just not going for the Yoko's because of their wear characteristics, especially on heavier cars.

But, I've got another year and a half to two years before I need to get the 17" tires.
