i will pay $284 for the set of the hankook 215/55, the kumho will cost me the same.

i have already installed a 225/50 on my racing maxima...but i dont like how the tires look...i thing i should get 225/55 not 50

I put the 712's in 235/45/17 on my max and they did not last for **** ( like about 25,000 miles

)- gripped real good- but **** in the rain. went to 710's and they have been good- not as grippy, but better in the rain, and expect twice the tread life

Got each for 75 a tire

I had ventus tires on my other car. They are great on dry and so-so in rain but they don't last at all. Those tires didn't last me very long at ALL. Go with the Kuhmo's

I have Kumho712's in 225/45/17 and I think they are great in the dry and wet! At least, they are better than any allseason I have used in the rain anyways. For the price, I will definitely get them again. 25k miles is actually pretty decent for performance tires.
