from the rulebook street tires for STS/STX. You can run R's in stock class.

14.3 TIRES
A. Tires up to and including a width of 225.
B. Tires must have a minimum tread wear rating of 140.

To answer your question, Yes.

It has a treadwear rating of 220 AA A

Are you looking for a dual purpose tire? If no, why run street tire class?

You can find them at tirerack.com

MX's @ Tirerack here!


Designed to deliver Kumho's ultimate level of "dry" road performance while maintaining good wet traction, the ECSTA MX molds an advanced silica tread rubber compound into a directional tread pattern that features massive, stable blocks to increase cornering traction and steering response, while four large circumferential and multiple directionally-aligned lateral grooves resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. Internally, the two, wide steel belts are reinforced by spirally-wound nylon cap plies to provide excellent strength, uniform ride quality, and Y-speed rated (186 mph) capability while the sidewalls are tuned to resist lateral deflection to provide handling control and feedback.

205/50WR15 Price: $81

205/55WR16 Price: $92
215/40YR17 Price: $115
215/45YR17 Price: $122
