Would those fit nice on a stock eclipse gs rim and what do you think about these tires?

they are great... just be careful in the rain and dont even try to drive in the snow with them. Might want to post in the suspension forum....

Kumho makes one of the best high performance tires in the world. Don't let the low price fool you into thinking they are cheap quality because they are not! My boss has Ferrari Modena with a new set of Kumho tires and the performance they deliver is amazing in both wet and dry conditions. For my car I found a set of tires that are a little cheaper than Kumho but also deliver amazing traction and handling. They are the Hercules G5000Z. They last a long time and look good.

ok, the important question though, will they fit nicely on the stock gs rims?

I have had my ecsta supras for 2 months on my 97 rs and i love them.i have the 21545zr17 and they fit perfect ive been abusing them too there great. Wet traction is very good too but yeah i hear they suck in the snow but there ulta high performance summer tires so why drive them in snow.also there the same tires that the fastest all-motor eclipse ran a 14.9 compared to 14.6 on slicks.

They are extremely good in rain!!!!!!! Best tires I have ever driven with in the rain. However they arent so good in the dry cuz they seem to have a little sidewall flex thing going on. Oh, btw they are shit in snow, I love to slide around tho

yeah my boss has em on her benz and her son on the bimmer and their're very happy with em.and theyl fit fine.youcan go up to 225-50-16 on stock rims.thats what i got, way better handling then with the 205...

I have run them on my mustang gt since I got rid of the stock goodyears. The hook up great(1.92 60' compared to 2.03 with the goodyears) The tread wear isnt the greatest but get used to it with an ultra high performance tire. Wet traction is good and snow traction, what is that? Im on my 3rd set now so that should tell you something.

Dry traction is good, but the longivity of the tire is horrible. The tire didn't live up to my expectations in the rain as much as I had hoped, but what can you say .. they're <$80 a piece.

I have Kumho's on my ride and have never had any problems with em at all. Actually never heard a complaint about em. One of my friends changes tires on his Protege MP3 all the time and has had every performance tire you can think of and told me that the Kumho's were the best ones he's owned. If you wanna try a different brand though, I've heard the new Fuzion tires are supposed to be pretty good. They're made by Bridgestone and might be pricey, don't know, haven't seen em yet for retail, but I've heard nothing but good things about them.
