Kuhmo vs. Goodyear question.....
2001 Z06
Stock, front tire is obviously 265 40 17
Kuhmo Ecsta mx only comes in a 275 40 17.
How much taller would this be than the stock F1's @ 265 40 17's ???
Would it look to ridiculous to run the Escta rears @ 295 35 18's and run the Ecsta fronts @ 275 40 17's
Anyone done this ?? pics ??
Thanks for your time...

I saw that too....
The Goodyear F1 265 40 17 overall diameter is 25.4"
The Kuhmo Ecsta Mx 275 40 17 overall diameter is 25.7"
Doesnt seem like much......
Visually, I wonder if there would be a difference when the kumhos would be mounted ???

Doubt it. The aspect ratio and rim diameter are the same and the 10mm difference in width is not really noticeable.
