Default Kumho Wintercraft WP71

Hey,

I'm looking at purchasing Kumho Wintercraft WP71 for my 2016 IS350 F sport. Just wondering if you guys have had or heard about any reviews on those tires? and I'm assuming the fit will be the same as the stock tires that came on the car?? At least I hope

Thanks!!

Can anyone tell me if I will have issues regarding the "fitment" of these tires on our car?
Thanks!

I don't imagine you'll have trouble finding them in the OEM size. Are you mounting them on the original wheels?

Should be looking for a 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear.

Yea i will be mounting on the original wheel. I'm not tire expert but if the tire dimensions are the same there should be no issues fitting them on the oem wheels, correct?

Correct, same size as OEM no issues. Just put Blizzaks on mine today.

I went with Pirelli winter ice zero FR 225/45R17 for my 2016 IS 300 F sport. Amazing so far up in Canada.

Yes. I used my Audi dieselgate "sorry" dealership-only voucher for the front 2 (ironic, eh?) and tirebuyer.com for the rears.
