The Kumho Ecsta 711 is no longer being made. It is very hard to find tires for my R/T (255/55/17). I'm looking at Goodyear RS-A's. Any feedback? Thanks!

You might consider a Firehawk 265/55-17.

How about some BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 in 255/40YR17 size?

best tires are the 275/50r17 Nitto NT-450s. they look great and are wider than stock without being a different diameter. i have these on my R/T except i went with 255/50r17 for the fronts. same tire just slightly narrower and slightly shorter. gives the truck a great drag look.

My R/T had the RSA's on it when I bought it and I switched to the Kumhos and found the ride a lot smoother and quieter - not to mention they were half the price. I'm sorry to hear they don't make them anymore I would have bought them again. Who told you they don't make them anymore Did you try Tire Rack? That is where I bought mine.

I have had 2 cars with the goodyear RS-A 's on them I would NOT recomend them, they are known as junk tires from the factory, although they have a nice tred pattern and look good they are truly junk, when I replaced mine the guy at the tire store said he could not believe I had 50,000 miles on them. He said most people drop the tires atfer 20,000 miles because of slow air leaks and vibrations.

TireRack still has them. Closeout. $74.00 each. I just ordered 2. Run them on the front of my RT and run 265-60's on the rear.
If you hurry you can still get them. I wonder if Kumho will replace this tire with something else in this size. I hated the RSA's. Swapped them after about 20k.
