Does anyone have experience with this company? I'm looking for my 03 350z touring which is my daily and discount tire has them with rebates I could get a set of 4 for around 240 bucks! They also have A good deal on the hankook ventus v12 evo2 as well. I've read some not so great stuff about the hankooks though. Any opinions/suggestions on either tire ?

Is this a serious post? Really, an $80 Chinese junk tire on a Z33? Please warn any passengers who may want to ride with you.

Daron Chambers

Yep totally serious which is why I posted , and no I don't know much about the tire which is why I posted , and are you referring to the vogue or hankook because I mentioned both. Some reviews I saw from people with a much more expensive car than a 350 said they liked them which is why I was asking for feedback . Thanks anyway though

one thing i never cheap out on is tires

Daron Chambers

What exactly is considered cheaping out? I saw some reviews from guys with c6 corvettes and 370s that liked the hankooks . Still a cheaper tire compared to a Michelin obviously . But is it a bad tire that's going to kill someone? Looking for people that have actually ran these tires that have any feedback

i doubt anyone here has ran them.

i had the hankook v12 on my 350, wasnt a big fan. then i went to the bfg sport comp 2 and really liked those

Daron Chambers

i think the cheapest i would go would be the cooper zeon

Daron Chambers

Yea I Was actually looking at the Cooper zeon RS3-s . I think they are cheaper than the v12s actually but I saw their treadwear warranty and ratings weren't very high and was a bit worried how fast they'd wear

i wore out the hankooks in about a year.

What, Trav? I think a lot of guys here have the Hankook V12's, myself included, and I'm pretty happy with them. Pretty good tire for $1k per set, and considering how the Z eats rear tires, a good choice. I've got maybe 10k miles on mine, with little obvious wear.

I've got a set of Michelin Pilot Sports on my 6-series BMW, and honestly, they came with the car. Great tires, but the Michelins are always at the top of the market in price, which I don't find justified.

i just didnt like them, just my opinion. not saying they arent good.

i got the michelin pilot sports on the vette, and i love em.... to be honest, they werent much more than Z prices. priced the out on tirerack, went to discount tire and they beat them... think i walked out spending $1400 for 275/35/18 and 325/30/19

Tire rack is also a good site to see reviews on tires, both from the company and customers, and you can get full specs on load ratings, wear, traction, etc.

Can't speak to the quality of these tyres (as they're known) but they've been around for a lonnnnnng time.... maybe 100 years. They are best known for their white wall tires and building "custom tires" for low riders, street rods, and other cars where style over handling has been their mainstay products.

No idea where they're built nowadays but they're a U.S. company.

At $240 per SET, I'd be wary because YGWYPF....you get what you paid for.

They're a US company, but they have in the past been forced to recall Chinese-made tires. yGWYPF is exactly correct in this case.

They are rated for 60k miles. I wouldn't expect them to have much performance wise, but if you're looking for something cheap that will last long I PERSONALLY wouldn't be opposed to running those.

Performance vs cost you can't beat Sumitomo HTR ZIII.
