what year and model stang you have? if you have a gt more then likely it calls for a ZR rated tire (which is the speed rating) and those are rated HR'S and shouldn't be put on your car just to let you know

HR will be fine as long as you stay under 130mph ZR's are for up to 149.

ya they would be fine but better safe then sorry.... i work in a tire place and your not suppose to put on less then what they recommend as in the speed rating ........ but hey its not my car or i'm not driving it go for it

Never heard of them. If money is tight spend about $10 more for some Kumho's which are Z rated. They will last longer and will probably hook up better. My philosophy is don't skimp on tires.

Agreed but the speed ratings are thrown out the door within the first 500 miles of wear and how often do you drive down the road at 130 anyway.

I had a blowout last week. Ended up buying two new rear tires. $213 ea. installed. Goodyear ZR45's.

What could I do? They had to match the front!

hancook is a division of Canada tire
for mostly the same price look at the yokohama's ES100... will be a LOT better

Uh, really? Hankook Website So, unless Hankook Tire Co. LTD which is based in Korea is a subsidiary of Canada tire, I'm betting that's not correct.

bull8t: As to the tires themselves, I bought 4 new Z rated Hankooks for about $105/tire. That's not much more than what you're looking at for HR. They're fine for daily driving.

whoops sorry, I drive a 02 gt. I am also looking at Kumhos 712's. Pretty much narrowed down to either the Hankooks or the Kumhos.

You will be fine with those tires. I ran the same ones when I had 17's and they lasted a long time here in Florida which is saying a lot. They also hold tremendously in wet weather. I just wish I could find a deal like that on some 18's.....

For a tight budget, they look fine to me. The tread wear is at 340, which is OK.

I have the K 712's and they are ok on the street. I will more than likely buy them the next time I need tires.
