Re: Hankook tires??

well i work for pepboys so of course i can get them pretty cheap being an employee,

i have Hankook Ventus V4s on my iroc and i love them, not bad in rain, sticky on dry ground

if u want the best of teh best of hankooks get teh ventus v12s, very good traction rating, very sticky on dry road, but wear pretty quick.. thats why i have the v4s, they are a 40k mile tire if i remember right and have a speed rating of 140? i think

i can get the exact info if ud like...

ventus v4s and v12s have a stiff sidewall btw, anything hankook thats not a "ventus" tire is a regular passenger car tire and has soft sidewalls and lower speed rating.

Re: Hankook tires??

A few weeks ago I got 285/30/20 and 255/30/20 Hancook V12's. I like them a lot, but I honestly only have like 15 miles on them so far so I can't give a person review. However, I did a lot of research on these and the price/value/performance of these tires is great. I don't know if they still have it, but I got an $80 rebate. I had Discount match the lowest price I found and they installed them.
