Question are Hankook tires junk??? anyone running them and are they noisey???

looking at ordering these....best deal I could find was Discount and they wanted 1500 for a set and tires and supposedly was a deal...

Those probably look pretty silly with a 275 on a 10.5" wheel.

Unless you're just looking for something round and black that holds air or are just going do what your screen name says, stay away. They are the absolute cheapest, crappiest tires you can buy.

depends on what you want. i sell the hankook ventus sport k104 and the bfg g-force sports in 245/45zr17. the hankooks are noisier than the g-forces. if you are worried about the price they are about the same about $125.00 per tire. imho the g-force is a better tire and is what i'm going to run on my car once i get the money. you do get what you pay for. i wish i could afford the goodyear eagle f1 but they are about $250.00 per tire.

I have some 305/45/22’s on my truck. They are doing good so far. Was either that or the kuhmo's. I researched both and the hannkook ventus was the better of the two. My truck is not a performance truck so I went with a tire that will be good for a daily driver.

For the stang I got 245/45/17 BFG KDW's and I like them. Not sure I'd buy real cheep tires for my stang.

I had Hanooks on my RX-7 a few years ago, no problems with them. I have Toyo Proxes on the Stang, and they are great tires, Les Schwab for $150 each when I got mine.

I have had almost every tire under the sun that I can think of and currently run Nitto 555's. I wont run anything else for street use, unless its another Nitto tire.

ok, next question do we know of any local shops that will do a set with Kumos or BFG for a grand out the door????

will the 275's really look goofy out back?? I thought they would fill the wheel well pretty good...

I run Nankang's on my 90, they are fine, and for 100 a piece out the door (m/b/vs/rhw) they are hard to beat. Ive run them on for a couple years, trips to the track, hard driving, etc.. its all good. Ive run better tires (pirellis, and dunlops come to mind) but they were 3 times the cost so....

DD..what sizes you run front and back????

here is the car today.

Jon · Jan 16, 2006

On a 10.5" back wheel you should run 295 at minimum or it will look like the tire is stretched onto the wheel. I've seen a bunch of cars with 275 on a 10.5" wheel and it doesn't look very good. A 315 would look MUCH better.

:Word: In agreement as I had that tire combo on my SN95 before I sold it. BTW, your car is beautiful.

245/45/17 at all four corners... not big, but they work. I like to keep em the same size so I can rotate em front to back to even out the wear.
