Hankook tires?

How are hankook tires. I was looking at some low profile 16's of theirs, not badly priced either. $232 for a set of 4. Anyone have any opinions on these?

where did you find them?
what is the rating? treadwear, temperature, handling.
that is a really good price. i need tires myself but can't decide if i want to get 16" tires for stock wheels or 17 rims and tires. i am looking for montegi mr7 in white 17" for less than $400 preferably for 300 . any help guys?

also, is this a good deal?
Dunlop SP Sport FM901 for $80 a piece in our stock size. is it a good tire?
and if any of you know where to get good deals on tires for our cars, let us know, thanks.

The hankook's are $280 for a set of four on www.tires.com, a little more expensive but they have free shipping. I don't know about the quality of those tires though.
I have the Dunlop Sp sports (205/40/16) I have been very happy with them so far.

this is where i got them at this price, just call them and you can place the order whenever you want, it is a set price. And YellowMP5, it will be real cheap to send it to you b/c they are located in Miami so you can just drive the half hour and pick them up. By the way, i am gonna be moving near you once i go to Florida in January. I have a lot of family in Pembroke Pines, i will get in touch with you next time i go down there.

I Like Them!!

I've got the Hankook Ventus HRII, (205*40R*16).. I like them, they seem to grip very well, have not ran them in wet weather too much, just once and it wasn't very wet, so I didn't test them too well,

They seem to be a good tire for the price.. I'm not upset with my purchase at all, I just got them about a month and a half ago, so we'll see how long they last!!

Good tires, I have them on my 325i (235/35/19 F 265/30/19 R). They're not AVS's or PZERO's, but still a good tire for the price.

I love 'em! Super grippy on the dry tarmac, and damn good on the wet. Don't go in the snow, though.

thanks. i think i'll be ok unless it snows in South Florida
actually i have been thinking about kuhmo 711 now. appears to be just as good as 712 but better treadwear rating. btw, did we come to a consensus about +40mm offset on a p5? works, doesnt work, rubs? nobody seems to know for sure. i am looking at either RS limited Trama OR Exel TZ-7 in 17" rims with kuhmo 711 215/40 tires. any input is GREATLY appreciated. PLEASE HELP

my 2cents

i was going to get the Kuhmo tires, but there was an intresting article saying that the Yokohama tires where better. I must admit the Yoko are riding like a champ!! I am soooo happy i got them.
