Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these tires, Hankook Ventus V2 Concept H437 All-season. I've been trying to find out if these are brand new tires out of Hankooks line up, but don't know. They have great reviews so far, have a great tread wear rating and they are price relatively inexpensive, any input guys?

 

Curious to know too since i'm going to need to get new tires for my car soon. What size are you going to run?

 

I'm running a bit wide 235/45-17 on my Enkei 17x7, but thinking of 225/45-17 Next, tires only run about $91-$100 each. I'm thinking of getting a set before the price shoots up. I got my Hankook V12 Evo K110 last year March for $104 each, and I checked the price November of last year they are were at $135 already..

 

Since my 2000 is a 5-speed, I wouldn't want to go to a 225-45 from my stock size of 225-50. In 5th gear, the engine spins at 3k r.p.m. at the 70-75 m.p.h. highway speed area, and I wouldn't want the engine to spin any faster with shorter tires since it would lower my fuel economy. I'm sure with a 6-speed you could get away with a shorter tire and not see a drop in fuel economy on the highway.

 

So were these tires good or not guys.?
