Dude, I've had the Hankook Ventus RS2 225s & 245s you see here on my avatar for over 2 years and they have been thru hell, yet they never fall out of round when sitting for over a week, and they handle great, and are very quiet and smooth on the road, I would recommend them to anyone and you can get all four for $400!! Many threads on this subject here...

I know I know I need new wheels...

Maybe I can get away with just replacing the rear tires to bide me some time until I can find some early offset rims..

On a side note - I just got my Rennbay e-code set w/ wiring and a new coolant tank - Either of you clowns want to drink some beers and install with me?

Early opinion on the drive home is that I like them! Much quieter (so far) than my yoko avs es 100's..but they were old and worn.

I guess time will tell..
