Hankook Ventus HRII H405
or
Kumho Ecsta AST

I am a college student and pay a $500 a month for the car. I don't have enough money for the high end tires like the aziens or whatever.. Please help me out choose my tires because im getting them this weekend..

 

I went with Kumho SPT and they give good bang for buck. $400 for all for from tirerack.com for 245/40/17. they are not too much more than the AST

 

Damn, $500/month!?

 

Dont go to America's Tire Co. They Fu#@@$ up my rims. Good luck with your search

 

yeah 500 is enough for an sti... but nooo.. the 6k downpay i made (not alot) went to everything but the car...

The car was 24k (tr) and i wanted warrenty + turbo warrenty + alarm.. the 6k went to all of the and the left over to the car which wasn't much..

 

I've found that tire rack and installation from a local shop is cheaper for most tires. DiscountTireDirect.com may be even cheaper since theres no tax and no shipping. Note that that has Direct on the end, sort of Discount Tire/America Tire Co.'s answer to TireRack.com

 

wtf is a turbo warranty?

 

lol i know,, and my 06 ltd was 24,9, 26 with taxes and that bs, i put 5 down and pay 350 a month, lol the full extended warranty would have brought me up to 480 a month f that\\

and my sister had hankooks on her car, they were kinda crappy but the only lasted 19k, im not impressed with hankook seem cheap

 

kuhmo mx are nice i got um on my wagon...love um..fairly reasonble price for a nice tire 120 i think each...

 

I have no direct experience with either tire, but I've looked at them both.

From what I've read, I'd go with the Kumhos over the Hankooks.

 

i think both tires are kinda crappy, but between the two its definitely the kumho's...thats just my .02
