    Looking for Performance (Summer) Tires

    Hi Gene,

    Could you give me an idea on pricing for some tires? It would be for a full set of four. These are a few options I'm considering-

    Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
    Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec
    Kumho Ecsta XS
    Hankook Ventus V12

    Size is 245/45/17... As you can probably tell based on my choices, I don't know how much I'll be able to spend yet. Right now I'm just doing research and looking at my options, and I was pointed your way in another thread. Thanks!

        I really liked the hankook ventus when I was running them on my car but gene talkede into the falken fk452's and I must say i am very impressed. I think they were a little cheaper than the hamkooks also if I remember right

          I am a huge fan of the Falken brand in general.

              I have owned the Hankook v12, and currently have the star specs on the wagon.. Also look into Falkens as others have said, it's a good tire... check out the rt615k's...

                  I'll shoot you a pm with a price which should be competitive, but that tire being a street legal scca racing item, "cheap" doesn't really apply.
