Luke:
I am looking for some Kumho Ecsta XS.

The website shows that you have 255/40R17 in stock, but back ordered on the 315/35R17.

Do you have any idea when you are getting 315/35R17s in?

Planning on these mounted on Wheel Replica FR500s:
17" X 9" with 24mm offset in front (5.95 back space)
17" X 10.5" with 27mm offset in front (6.81 back space)

Car is a Mk IV (in build) with FFR spindles and LCAs in front, standard width, and IRS standard width in back

Thanks

X2 - I have a MK3, same specs, want to buy the same tires from you. ASAP.

I bet that we could get easily a dozen pair together in a group buy if you can source them and get us a break.

When is Kumho making more?

I just ordered a pair of the 245/17's for the front yesterday. I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle. Cheers.

sorry to post this but, on April 19th Kumho said that the 315/35-17 is back ordered nationally and it would be 90 + days at the earliest before that situation was corrected

[Luke@tirerack]

update ... Kumho is now telling us 45-60 days on the 315/35-17

Thanks Luke.
Sorry to hear that, but at least it won't really stop my progress, but just delay making it a roller.
Glad I built the chassis dolly

Does it help any to place some on order?
Does that at least get us a spot in line once they do start to show up?

I saw that ... and we will get them to you as fast as we can ... where's the vacation ?

we are going to Virginia Beach / Norfolk / Williamsburg on an end of the school year vacation in early June

Thanks! I understand that they will show up form Kuhmo when they show up, and delivery dates are just an estimate.

We are going to Hawaii - Lanai, up near Princeville. We have not been there yet, but have been to the island about 6 years ago.
