Kumho’s Ecsta SPT

they are 245/40-18 (summer tires)

I can only assume they are the same size tires for the LS but I am not 100% sure. What size winter tires are you running?

Just checked my winter tires, They are 235/50/18, I have the 18" Telios rims on now. Not sure if that size will fit if they do I will them.

They are slightly smaller but the rolling diameter is really close. You give one direction for another direction so its close. I would think its the same size OEM tire on your car as mine and the winter set up maybe different. TireRack had a different size for me to run but I was lowered so I stayed with the OEM spec size. I am not that far from you if you want to come check them out either Saturday night or Sunday during the day send me a BB message.

Thanks
Mike

^ From previous jobs at Tire Shops. The tires will fit. I've seen people do +1 and +2 sizes on OEM wheels. Just remember it's a 18' tire & also the tires are run flats which makes the sidewalls even thicker than usual. You shouldn't have a problem and you can't beat the price for OEM Runflats w/ Low and I mean Low miles on them. I've seen these tires in person. Great tires for a STEAL of a price.

To add to that, I've seen people put too small of a tire on too WIDE of a rim. Like a 225 on a 9.5 inch rim I was amazed on how it was done. But just remember that .5 isn't to much of a difference.
