Kumho Excsta MX tires

Anyone running these? I've got 4 17x9 ZR1's and I need a new set of front tires for now to go with my Nitto 555R DR's in the back. When the Nittos are gone I may just get a set of these MX's in 285/40 for the rear too if they hook good. Here are the one's I'm looking at for the front:

Also, anyone running this 255/45/17 size up front and does it fit ok? I wanted something a little smaller up front, the specs on that size look like it would work ok, same height and all. I had the Ecxsta Supra 712's all around on my old 16" wheels and they were ok but traction wasn't too great. Just wanted some opinions on these. Thanks.

I just got a set 285 all four, i have about 500 miles on them they seem pretty cool. I loved the tread design looks great. They ride good.

He only needs them for the fronts.

Gregg,

When I bought my F1 GS-D3's (275/40-17's), it was between the Kumho MX's and the F1's GS-D3's. I haven't driven the MX's, but they look to be a great tire for the price. The reviews look very good, especially for the fronts.

Dan
