hankook tires

[blackstang06]

I just placed an order on some Hankook Ventus s1, Theyre on special on tirerack for $99 which is sweet considering im rolling on 19's. Has anyone here bought said tires? i cant find too many reviews on these tires :sad:




BTW, theyre having a blowout sale on these tires in 17.18 :cheers:

congrats on finding tires for cheap in 19's since those are a bastard rim size.

They are doing it for a reason....


You'll find out why when you get them on. :laugh:


On a side note I just paid 120/ea for a pair of 275/40 Sumitomo HTRz IIIs for the back of the Cobra. So far so good....nice and quiet all the way down here to San Diego at unmentionable speeds. :look:
I didn't realize how dryrotted and hard those old tires were until now. No more blowing off the right tire from stoplights FTW! :laugh:

i need new 305/18's on my rears. i dunno how they wore out so quickly...

I emailed them and they told me that they were discontinuing (sp) that tire and bring a new line of tires :whoknows:

Samething happend with my azenis st115, they were replaced with the falken 452 :sad:

:ugh:

there's nothing wrong with hankook's sport tires. i should know, i have a set of K104 sport's on my cobra R wheels. they've provided good traction and great wear for the money. stacey uses their racing slicks on her race car and a set of the RS2-Z212's as her wet tires. never a disappointment with either.

of course, the RS2 is being replaced with the RS3, but there's nothing wrong with that. happens all the time and it's probably the same reason why the S1 evo is being discounted right now. ;)

but yeah, mike asked about this LAST NIGHT. :no:

i like how people think "korean" so they must be cheap. :rolleyes:

I know i asked this last night, i just wanted to see if anyone had ever bought a set.. ohh well too late since i ordered them :evil:

[dmark101]

like i told you last night mike, i'm sure you'll like 'em just fine, especially that you ordered them with a decent profile. ;)

I got my falken 452 in 285/40/19 for less than that.

Ok....thats fantastic. :jerkit:


You know why they are that cheap?
Because 19s are an oddball bastard size. Thats why.

[Nicksbluestang]

19's cheap? :wtf:

Yup. I have those on the mustang and they are a great tire.

I have hankooks on the truck and there is absolutely no traction, But they do last a very long time. plus they were only 130 bucks a piece versus the 250 for the goodyear F1's.

Good years f1's are :drool:

Yeah i liked them but they don't last very long.

Can you give me the powdercoaters info again? I lostered it when the site blew up.

I have to look in my office for the info. Ill pm ya tomorrow with it. :afro:


My 3v came with Eagle f1's all around but the the fronts had a different thread pattern than the rears. :whoknows:
The fronts still have a lot of thread life and the rears....well 1 rear went down to the wires(replaced that one with a falken 452) and the other one is good for about another month or so and then i will replace it with a 452.

[FORCED-AIR-FASTBACK]

Dont listen to K-dog, once again spouting his words of wisdom

I have them on my 20's and cut low 1.8's tonight.They hook great, wear slowly and seem great in wet weather

[Blanco32v]

my dads 20's on his harley are cheaper than my 18's :sad:

the bridgestones alan got for me for the rears have been the best tires thus far. hook good for a street tire, good on wet roads, and dont wear out so fast. i like having time to save up for another set of 18's out back between tires..... cant compare them to the nitto dr's i had before these but before the nittos i had KDWII's and those beezies wore out quick and couldnt hook. if they did by miracle hook i was blessed with some of the worste wheel hop ever

:band:

Where did you get the 452's ? I just got an email saying that the tires i ordered are in back order :sad:

[5litrarag]

what did I say?

That they were on sale for a reason?
That 19s are an oddball size?

Whats the problem? Are one of those untrue?

I didn't say or imply that I knew shit about those tires.
