Default 335 Kumho XS Pics 18 FEB 09!!!

Here they are are 335/35/17 Kumho XS. Just got them on today. I am full BFH and fenders rolled and they still rub a little on the inner well. Measures 13" wide on the rim. They are super responsive. I had Nitto DR front and back and they are stiffer than those and hook up from a standstill better. They also do not lean as much in turns. I haven't got a full review because they have less than 40 miles on them. They are kind of noisy on highway. Sounds like a barrel rolling just in the rear. They were $240 installed for each 335 and $210 installed for each 275.

Looks like 12 1/4 inches across (I had to say something before someone else corrected you)

They look nice!

I have been a big Kumho fan, gone thru 4 sets of the Ecsta MX, now looking for a replacement. I read a lot of good things about these tires, will be interested to hear more from your driving experience.

I'm probably gonna go with a 275/305, 18's around, gotta check out size availability with those.

Car looks great btw!

I have 17x9 and 17x11 ZR1's. They are actually 13" wide from where the tire flares out in the middle. I have the 36mm backspace on the back rims. I will take some side shots soon.
I lived in Fayetteville for awhile was stationed at Fort Bragg.

They look good, but the sidewall looks like it's bulging some at that side shot. I had 335 Hoosiers on my 12" wide wheels and compared to a friend who had them on his 11" TTII's you could tell a significant bulge. They do look good though!
