Hanhook Tires?

Tires!!! Looking for a set for the my 88 formula, My firebird sat for 5 years, 2 of those years in a field under pine trees before i bought it from my aunt (bought it in Oct. 2009). The tires i have on it now are Firestone Firehawk FTX's, was told the were brand new before they parked it. There a bit dry rotted, Big reason why i never really got over "freeway speeds" but i drove on them for about 2k, with a few burnouts... lol. so i was saving for Bfgoodrich g-force t/a KDW. but i can't find them in 245/50/16, So now im looking at Hankook Ventus HRII H405, 245/50/16, Has anybody run or is currently running these tires?? trying to get away with under $400 for a set of tires, so i can put more in to the car all round. for your time.
P.S. Thirdgen.org is awesome, helps soo much

Re: Hanhook Tires?

i've used them and like them alot. they stick pretty good in the dry and wet, only downside is a kinda soft sidewall so they arn't as crisp on turn in as some tires, but still grip pretty well once they roll a bit.

for the price i tend to run them alot lol


i order from here isn't they have free shipping and good prices. i seem to remember they were like 60$ last time i got them. blah
