i was looking at the hankook ventus k104 y-rated tires in 19" and they are so cheap. anyone have these? i read that road noise is the only problem but what about the walls?
i know that toyo fz4 suck.......period.

 

I was looking at them as well today......

 

i use to have them. 225/40-18 they were a little noisy and weren't the best gripping tires, but a good tire for the money.

 

According to SCC in the Rumors and Facts section it says that Michelin bought a 10% stake in the Korean company. I asked my father, since he works for Michelin, if they did and he said that he hasn't heard anything about it but it wouldn't surprise him if they did.

 

i was going to get those tires, but i ended up getting the nittos instead.

 

I'd get em since they are so cheap. so what if they wear out faster or has some road noise. Its significantly cheaper and you can afford to experiment. My brother has a set of HanKook 17" tires on his 2k max and they are significantly quieter and offer better rides than the Kumho Supras. HanKook tires must be pretty good. Its what the 40 million south koreans use. But I never tried them myself.

 

OMG!!! hankooks are the WORST tires!!!! stay away!!! I had them on my 92 Maxima way back when.....I'd just assume ride the car on bare rims than those tires!!!

 

i had them for over a year now and LOVE them.. they handle good and have a great treadwear rating... and they are cheap.. i will def. buy these again when i need new tires
