Had a flat last week (my first ever with the 40) and mounted up the spare. Unfortunately it was a sidewall puncture so lost the tire and had no spare any longer.
Tire place couldn’t supply what I had on - kumho ecsta platinum16" 60 225 98W’s.
They said they couldn’t put a different rated tire on the car unless they put on all 4 and unfortunately 98w rated tires in my size (16") didn’t seem to be available in Canada any longer …so I’d have to mount lower rated tires and spend over $1000 to boot.
So I ran around without a spare for a week and ordered 4 new (still available in the States) Kumho 98w’s, about $400 US delivered to my Seattle installer.
Mounted them yesterday and drove down I-5 to Tacoma and back, just a beautiful silent drive, forgot how nice new tires really are …anyway, thank god for Tire Rack, they saved my bacon. If it wasn’t for them I’d be in the same boat as the x300 cars I see running around on minivan “H” rated tires. - no thanks!
