**Hankook Tire Owners Please Chime in**

Mr. 5 · 11-25-2008, 11:42 AM

I'm seriously considering purchasing a set of the Hankook Ventus Sport K104s.
From what I've heard, this tire is unbelievable for the price and blows the General Exclaims out the door!

It would be nice to hear form you guys that have owned a set or that are riding around on them now to give me your impressions and comparisons.

Is it that Hankook is just making their way into the states with this tire?
Is this the reason for the price difference?

While I haven't had them on the 335, I did have a set of Ventus 275/40/20 when I had my truck.

I personally loved them. I felt they had better traction/grabbing grip than the BFG's I had before them. Especially in the rain. I put a years+ worth of mileage on them before I sold my truck with no (visually) noticeable wear.

If you'd like I can post a few pics of the tires. I belive I have a few up close pics.

I had the RS2's on my S2000, handled almost as good as the Bridgestone S02s, however, sidewalls not as stiff. Hankook makes a very good inexpensive tire. One question though, if you can afford a BMW, why are you buying cheap ass tires? Generals are crap, and Hankook are good, but spend the money and get a good tire, nothing makes a bigger difference than a good tire.
