Tire questions

Anyone ever try the Kumho Ecsta HP4 716 tires? I am probably getting my last set of tires and these are a pretty decent price for their performance from what I've heard.

Also, I keep getting conflicting answers for 92 Max SE tire size, 205/65/15 or 205/60/15, what is the definitive answer?

205/65/15 is stock replacment but i went with 215/60/15 ,215 for wider and 60 for lower profile and better handling but its up to you

I have 215/60-15 Pirelli P8000's and i think they look better being lower profile and wider. Handles better also.

thanks for the help. I thought I had heard those numbers a while back but it's been so long since my last tire change..

Anyone have any opinions on Kumhos on our Maximas?
