On the bright side, amazing grip and last a while, which is a plus.

a little off topic (not trying to jack your thread because i also need tires) but do 255/40/17 fit well on a stock suspension on stock wheels?

I love my Hankook ventus v12 evo k110's. Nice and quiet at the limit, and have very good break away. Rain is not an issue. I am very pleased with these tires.

Yes. Thanks for the info paintballer - more personal reviews like these continue to push me toward that tire!

Never had them on my Evo but I wrapped my HREs in a set of those on my IS300. Really enjoyed them. Suprisingly good traction in rain for RWD as well.

There's a discount tire link to the Hankook's in the 4th post of this thread. They're currently $115 a piece with a $50 rebate for buying 4.

Just checked. Only $104 each at tirerack.

^smoking deal for a pretty sweet tire. A tire comparable to the star specs for $400 all around ain't bad!
