What are your alignment numbers??? If that's your setup in your Avatar then no tire is going to work well for you.
Note: They did take a couple miles to warm up!

No I have a stock base 370z. 275/40/18 on the back with 245/45/18 on the front. Not sure about alignment numbers.

My Kumhos were good for about 3k then the performance fell off the planet.

I'm on my second set of Hankooks and this is after running PzeroNeros multiple
times. Love the cost difference and the tiny change in performance. I also found out that I did this whole weekend of mtn driving with a loose swaybar link. Tightened it up today! Very happy with them. To each is own I guess.

I didn't really care for the Hankooks up on the mountain. They squealed in protest way too much.

Would you say the Hankook is better than the Sumitomo HTRZ III?

Any one have any experience with the General GMAX AS-03? It's about $750 and comes in a 275/40 and 245/45.
