I am stuck between 3 tires and was wondering of anyone could give some insight on them.. I have a 03 mach 1 5 speed and want good traction.. I had sumitomo htrz3 on my previous mustang and they couldn't hook for shit. So my choices are: Nitto nt555, hankook ventus rs3, or sumi htrz2. they would be rears 285/35/18.. Thanks!
I figured that would be the popular opinion. The only reason I ask about the rs3 is tire rack has them on sale at 167 a tire. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
As for the other two options... Skip on the Sumitomo. I hate them all. Junk. I can't really speak on the hankook because I've never ran them before.
I don't think any of them are all that great for traction. Decent summer tires but not great. I'm guessing price is an issue or at least important.
I just got the nitto 555s and love them so far! Can't comment on wear yet of course, but they ride and handle great!
Hankook tires are under-rated by Mustang enthusiast and that's a shame because they are a very good tire.
Most of my Nittos wore fast and traction got shitty pretty quickly. I have the Invo's on now because I just wanted to try them out and they looked different. They are amazing in the rain and surprisingly good in dry cornering. Not as good as my Goodyear GSD3's that I had prior but not much is on the street.
Yeah price is a factor. I'm not looking to spend 300+ on a tire mostly because it would be an overkill for a mostly stock mach. The rs3's that I am talking about are on tire rack and are the ones with the 160 tire wear.. I don't know if that means they won't last long. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
I'm looking at the 160 rating because they are on sale.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
