So my tires are like bologna skins and i was planning on replacing them soon, but considering i ran a screw over yesterday, ill be replacing all 4 tonight....
i'm debating between Kumho Ecsta SPT's for $435 shipped or Hankook Ventus S1 Evo's for $399 shipped through tirerack.com any input? everyone i've talked to said that the Hankooks are better
Thanks Guys

P.S. dont grill me for the cheap tire selection... i wanted some BFG's or Goodyears, but i just lost my job so these are better than nothing for right now

My buddy has some Hankook 22" tires on his charger and they ride good.

You can get some Nitto NT555's for only $40 more then the Kumho's on Discount tire.

where at on the bfg's?

dont get the kumhos.. ugh. The worst cheap tires ever. If you get them, I hope you like road noise, and LOTs of it.

kissmySS08

i bought the Hankooks.... hope they're decent for now

all the reviews on here of those specific Kumho's were good and no one mentioned road noise being bad. Did you actually have them? Just curious because I am going to be looking for a set when I take my rims off for the winter..

kissmySS08

i agree... all the reviews i read on the Kumho's were good and that road noise on those specific ones... everyone i talked to said the hankooks wear better and have a bit better grip than the Kumho's but everyone is leary cause Hankook is not as well known as some other companies... ill update after a few hundred miles

kissmySS08

thanks for the info guys i appreciate it!!!!

Hankooks are good but dont ever buy Sunny tires for some reason a lot of hate them. I dont know why but they say they hate em!

No i do not personally have kumhos, but im a service advisor, i sell tires, among all sorts of other things, and all I get is bad feedback on kumhos. There is almost always a better option for the money over kumhos.. such as falkens, for example. I only put kumhos on some fleet vans.. they dont care about noise and crappy ride quality.

kissmySS08

so did i make a bad decision on the hankooks or are they decent for under $400?

The Hankook's should be fine....especially since you go them for under $400 shipped.
