Absolutely correct

Correct, like the Vredesteins mentioned above (which I already mentioned )

I suppose if you are willing to dismount and remount on the other side you could.. but for the cost of the Hankooks I don't see that as an option.. $30 to mount/balance a 245/40/19 around me..

I bought my tires at Discount Tire. They come with lifetime balancing and they only charge $20 to mount/dismount. Well worth the cost to do a couple of times and get 50% more tire life to me.

Bought mine at discount also, but they don't have a place around me so I had them delivered to a local shop to mount/balance.

I have Kumho SPTs on my car, the treadwear, wet and dry traction and performance is great. They are loud and roar like hell though!!!!!! I won't be purchasing anymore when it's time for new tires.

Hankook ventus v12 9 months out of the year, Blizzak WS70 the other 3 months. Both have performed well.

I had the Hankook Ventua V12s and replaces them with the Kumhos because they only lasted 5000 miles. I also had my car checked out and found that my toe, and camber was off bad so I may consider the V12s again. I just can't remember if they were quiet or just as loud as the Kumhos though?

Not attacking since you always think I am, but are you serious? You actually vouch for Falken?

Best tires hands down, Michelin PS2.

^ we also have an entire section of the forum that focuses on this exact subject. But that is no use to anybody looking for tires.

+1 on the Hankook Ventus v12. Been using them for a little over a year now. They grip well and have lasted thus far, so I can't really complain. I don't track my car just spirited driving around town. I chose them because they had good reviews on car and driver.
