Tire Advice please Hey. Guys Sorta stuck in the middle in terms of what I want for my tires Size: 245/35/19 and 255/40/19 UHP or Max Perf summer tires Tread wear hopefully 250-300 Price range: $200-220 each I also would prefer it to be directional and not inside/outside so I can swap the tires to each side Thanks for your suggestions Posted via RS Mobile |
Within your price range, I've heard good things about these tires: Kumho SPT Vredestein Sessanta Hankook Ventus V12 Bridgestone RE760 |
great suggestions i'm thinking either the hankooks or the kumhos. the kumhos are much more tempting having 320 treadwear. |
Got the SPT's, and they are pretty good tires. Grip great, wet or dry (I autocross/track mainly in the wet, I rarely get a dry day). Tough tires, I subject them to abuse (MAJOR potholes/bumps etc) and they haven't burst or deformed yet, haha. Treadwear looks good, I have a torquey front-drive car (300lb/ft) and they don't show much wear yet after 5000km of abuse/hard pulls/auto-cross/track. My main complaint is noise and ride; they are not very quiet except on the newly-paved smooth roads, and the ride isn't the best (but the XL sidewalls and much higher load rating than recommended I have probably don't help). They also seem to be a pain to balance properly; they don't seem to stay balanced or get unbalanced very easily. |

not to say it's true or w/e but, could it be your wheels? |

Good tire overall though. |
im surprise you like the SPT SPT is pretty bad in the rain for the similar amount of money, General UHP > SPT |
I run the Hankook V12 up front and am happy with how they have performed thus far, wet and dry. Great for the price IMO. Posted via RS Mobile |

The SPT is decent in the wet; not spectacular. It's much better than the stock Dunlop SP01 A/S that came with the car, or the ContiProContacts that I've used. My SPT's are relatively new; maybe when it loses more tread it will suck more in the rain. |
i would say the Hankook Ventus is the best value right now. You have a pm with price |
I run Falken FK-452s on the wife's Audi. Fantastic tire, great wear and good levels of grip in both dry and wet. |
back from the dead. how long do these UHP tires with 320-380 treadwear last for you guys? still haven't bought new tires, but i'm slipping on manholes so i should probably get on that now. |
Depends how aggressively you drive. If you're driving to get milk and go to and from work, a lot longer than if you do track days and/or autox. Figure on 20k to 40k kilometres. |

good to know, thanks |

i drive about 15k a year, so i want them to last at least 2 years, but HP summer tires aren't as popular as UHP, also thinking about General Acclaims. |
