I'm in need of new tires and found a great deal on these tires from discounttiredirect.com $66 each shipped to my house. I just want to know if they are good tires, or what you heard about them. Its appreciated.

So i ended up going to there website and looking and now they offer free shipping. at Discount Tire Direct. So i see a 255/45/17 Hankook Ventus K104. I can get 4 shipped to the door for 320 :) Not a bad deal for a pretty good tire. :)

Just got those 80 each and free shipping i just couldn't pass it up. Every review i read was pretty good.

By the way which Size are you looking at??

i just ordered them and came to $158 shipped to my house (for 2), which is pretty good. The reviews seemed pretty legit as well

Hankook makes some nice race compound tires, but the technology does not really transfer well into street tires. Expect middle of the pack handling and grip. Those are pretty cheap. What tire size did you get them in?

Same here ReplicaR i wasn't expecting to get a great tire but for that price they will do just fine. I don't get to AutoX like i would love to or go to the track. So they should be just fine for everyday driving.


If he paid 80 each he probably got the 255/45/17 like i did.

will do, the only thing bad ive heard from them was a softer sidewall, which you can feel more in turns and such

You guys should probably keep personal conversation to the minimum. Use PM.

Well, when you guys have feedback, then you can post it. Right now the thread looks more like an AIM or PM conversation.

Got the tires in Tuesday, finished the old ones off yesterday. Mounted the new ones today. They are actually pretty good. They hook much better then the proxes I had on before and better then the Goodyears before that. Its a bit more of a stickier compound. Overall im satisfied with them
