stupid people, I guess that's why I just had to paid $20 to mount and balance for each one.

Yeah, I had mine mounted at the shop a friend works at. He handled the mount & balance so I knew it'd get done right. I think I paid $18.50 a wheel.

Got my spacers today from Stillen, and my V12's arrived at my local tire shop today as well. I'll be going next weekend to get them all installed. Can't wait!

I probably should have bought these tires before arriving in Korea. They are almost $600 a piece out here for the 19" versions.

More than likely I go with these and just have them shipped. Doesn't look like I'll be auto-x anytime in the next two years anyway. I did like the stockers for auto-x since they were very predictable.

I've had these on my car for about 5K miles and like them for my Z, which is my daily driver. I chose these because of their wet weather performance (stock was a bit scary on the Gulf Coast during the massive downpours that we get). The tread-wear rating is about twice what the stockers were, so we'll see how much longer they last compared to the 16K I got off the original tires.

You are not going to like them for autox, they don't grip that great and don't have much feedback due to the soft sidewall. I think they are good street tires due to the low noise and relatively good ride, but I wouldn't go nuts over them.

According to a recent issue of CR magazine, Hankooks, Falkens & Michelins are among the best tires on the market. I got my baby a pair of Falkens for the rear in late '09. So far, so good! But, then again, I don't put too much mileage on her, annually ('bout 4,000 miles, on average).

Got an e-mail today from Hankook telling me that they are processing my rebate within 15 days!

flashburn · 06-09-2010, 01:59 PM

I still need to send mine in. Damn I'm lazy!

Tire Rack gives a warning indicating that the Hankooks have a higher load rating than the OEM tire and might ride a little harsher. Has anyone noticed this? Thanks.

Uh did you read any of the posts in this thread??

flashburn · 06-09-2010, 03:23 PM

Yeah, seriously. They ride way better than stock. I feel like I can feel less of the tires and more of the road, if that makes any sense. It's definitely "less harsh" compared to stock.

cossie1600 · 06-09-2010, 10:20 PM

I dont have it on the Z, but I can tell you they ride just as well on my Prius compare to the stock low resistance tires. It's a good street tire, not sure if I love them on the track/autox

I really get sick of answers like this. I read all the posts in this thread and only a couple talk about the ride of the Hankooks at all. The fact that Tire Rack gives this warning before you order the tires is something to look at before spending $800. If you have nothing constructive to say Tin keep it to yourself.

I started this thread to help other people out, how much more helpful and constructive can I be? And I get sick of people popping to the end of a thread and asking a question that has already been answered.
