I hope you replaced all 4 with Hankooks. I dont understand why I see so many people who are running different brands of tires front and rear.
Because why replace 4 when you need 2? When the others go out, swap to the rear brand.

I guess it depends on the way you drive. But I know if they are tires that have very different compounds and grip levels it can be dangerous, especially when driving the car the way its meant to be driven.

I appreciate your input..Of course,and while I do enjoy my car and I'm relatively new to modding and such I doubt everyone out there is rushing to drift around and burn up the $1300 set of tires it comes with. I understand it's a softer compound but for the price and the level of tread wear I don't think it's really worth it at all. I plan to track the car on occasion and mostly do suspension mods off before anything else, I run through the canyons here and there but I wouldn't be pushing the car the way it's "meant to be driven" stock anyway let alone with a Frankenstein tire set up
