Hey there , just about to buy some rims and now i need advice on what tires. Not looking at anything cheap liek nankangs but not anything too expensive like pirellis. I need somthing that would provide good handling , minimal noise and somewhat ok in the rain. Winter doesnt matter since this car will be stored. The sizes are 245-35-20 F and 275-30-20-20 R.

Thanks again in advance !!

 

I really like the Hankook Ventus V12. I've run Federals, Yokohamas, Kuhmos, and Falkens and the Hankooks are by far my favorite.

 

^+1, i am about to get my second set of hankooks....if you want those, check discount tire direct, if the website says backordered as it did for my size of 245/40/19, try calling the number, when i did, the guy said they had just got 65 in stock...also, no taxes + free shipping = "winning"....the only downside i had with these tires, was that they only lasted 22k miles....i don't know if that is normal or it was just due to the fact that i needed an alignment, (figured it was aligned when i purchased the car, guess thats to much to ask from the dealearship)....

 

I just put these on my car and am really impressed was gonna ask for opinions on them

 

My v12's will be here wed. Good tires

 

+1 for the Hankook Ventus V12's. Got them brand new with my coupe 18's a few months ago... very quiet, sticks to the road, great for all weather conditions. Best tires I've purchased in a long while

 

How were they through the winter?

 

I live here in Florida so the winters are dry and sunny. We get some rain though but the tires perform great in rain.

 

Same here V12's. I have no complaints about the tires. They ride nice, they are quiet, and they handle well.

Best of all they are available at a decent price.

 

I just bought the hankooks last week. I'm putting them on this week. I heard only good things about them so far .

 

Those are alot of raving reviews and sounds like a good tire. I would also suggest you check reviews on TireRack if you want to go another route. you might also balance to cost of tire, including mounting and balancing ($20-25 + disposal of $2-3 a tire) with the rated life expectancy of the tire. I have stock size 18's and am looking at Continental Extreme Contact DWS for their high life expectancy (50k miles) vs. tire cost. They also have great reviews on Tire rack.

 

hahaha "winning" eh loll so far i hear more on the falkin fk452 as top reviews but u guys been saying hankooks so it changes everything. Hankooks were the cheapest i seen beside nankings so i thought it would be meh. intertesting indeed. Any1 have the falkin fk452 ????

 

Hankooks v12's FTW! they handle great in wet and dry conditions and they are quiet. Decent price too.

 

I had the Falken's on an old set of wheels and they were good tires, but they were louder than the Hankook tires I have now. I have always like Falken's

 

There have been a couple of stories on Driver about Falkens exploding. I thought my Falkens were an inferior tire compared to the Hankooks.
