I just ordered up some kumho ecsta STX (265/60/17)for my rt ... 89 bucks each..any body tried them yet?
my rsa's are all done and I hate spending cash on tires, so I figured I'd try these.

If you are talking about a Dak R/T, the 265/60/17 are huge for the R/T. They will really throw the speedo off. When your speedometer reads 62mph, you will actually be doing 64mph. Speedo reads 80mph, you will be doing 85mph. Plus with the sidewalls being almost 1" taller, they won't handle as well on curves. Shoudl stick with either the factory hight of 28" or the tires I like on my R/T are in the 255/50/17 size. Shorter than stock, but much better handling.

How about 275/50-17's? I read an article in Truckin about handling; one of thier featured trucks was a Dak R/T lowered 2"(Hotchkis) and riding on 275/50's. It performed awesome and had no clearance problems that I read about.
