Kumho tires

This is a question for those of you running Kumho Supra ECSTA 712 tires. Are you running 275/40-17's on all 4 corners? I notice they come in 285/40-17 also. It also looks like they're all "W" rated. Any issues with that? I'm thinking of putting these on my 96 LT4, on ZR-1 style AFS wheels that are size 17 X 9.5.

Thanks, JCS44

I have an 86 that I run 285/40/17 on the back and 275/40/17 on the front and they are z rated and I love the tires. I have no slip at all even when taking 30 mph curves at 60-65 mph
