Kumho Tyre question?

    I had 4 new Kumho Ecsta ASX 215/55/17 KU21 "all weather" put on my AWD forester last October. I have to replace one tyre as it had a coming together with a large nail. I can't find one of these tyres anywhere in garages or online.

    I remember reading that you shouldn't mix AWD tyres and especially an all season with a summer tyre. Anyone recommend what I should do here?

    Thanks in advance.

    Can Fastfit order one for you? I know they stock Kumho tyres.

    Cheers BS'r
    I tried them already, the tyre seems to have dissapeared of the face of the planet.

    It has probably been replaced by a newer model. If it was a low volume seller here then chances are whatever stock was available has gone.

    The next best thing I think you could do is replace two tyres on the same axle with a pair of similar type. At least that way you will have the same type on each axle.
