Aftermarket Tires

skeemr4 · 04-11-2011, 02:17 PM

Hey all...I'm thinking of putting a set of 20" wheels on my car. I looked up some tires on tirerack and discount tire direct. I don't want to spend a whole lot of $$$ as these will be my summer wheels only. I'm basically looking for something durable w/ decent performance. Some of the brands that have come up are: Nitto NT555, Hankook Ventus V12, Dunlop SP Sport Maxx, Falken FK 452, Yokohama X-drive etc.

Does anyone have any opinions they can share for this?

I would have gone for the Continental Extreme Contact DW if they would have had the rears in the size I wanted -- 285/30/20. Since they didn't, I went with the Michelin PS2's.

Hankook Ventus v12 would be my choice for value and performance

I wanted to try the Hankook Ventus V12's also, but my tire guy told me he wouldn't put them on my car --- he said the quality wasn't good at all -- uneven wear and noise. I guess everyone prefers their own brand.

Vredestein's if they make your size.
GREAT tire for the money.

GREAT tire for the money. __________________ Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
