Default New Tires - Kumho Ecsta 4X KU22

Hello all!! I have a 2008 Accord EX-L, and it is time to buy some new tires. While with 2 kids, I am definitely on a budget......I saw these at Discount Tire for $592 "out the door". That's in my price range, but am wondering if anyone else has had a set and/or had any feedback on them. Thanks!!

Good reviews for the Ecsta 4X (not sure what KU22 means) at Tire Rack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Model=Ecsta+4X

I'm about 99% certain the LX-4 uses 16" wheels for your model year, and by that I mean 215/60 R16 tires. I'm thinking you're going to get some significant speedometer and odometer error by running 215/60 R17s on your car.

Long story short, the tires you want to use are very much the wrong tire for your car.
