Yes they are! I liked them better than the PS2s on the M3.

[VooDooXII]

[Revmaynard]

It says 315 on the tire.

I did not type "weight" protein, I typed "weigh" in my haste. They have the same sound when pronounced. I changed it in the original post though. :rolleyes:

Proof of this?


I have used quite a few sets of RS2s and PS2s(and other Michelin tires) and while the Hankooks have grip they have nothing else in common with Michelin... they don't even 'feel' or 'act' like a Michelin...

30 series? Geesh. No thanks. Corvettes already ride meh... drop the car tot he ground so it can't clear pebbles and run 30 series tires? Do not want.


Have fun with them. I doubt they last very long though. If you don't mind me asking what does an RS2 in that size run?

Honestly, I preferred these over the PS2's on the M3 because the Michelins seemed to roll sideways.

As far as a 30-series, the factory tires are a 35-series so this is not a big deal. The ride is comparable to the M3 with the M3 probably being slightly more harsh. How can you complain about the ride height on the Corvette when your vert is equally "slammed"? My car doesn't even tuck tire. ;)

200 treadwear tires don't usually last long... These only run $280 normally, but they are on closeout for $139 a piece which is a great deal.

Thanks for picking up my tires for me, Swollix. I just picked up my wheels from the paint shop and I'll catch up with you this evening so we can get the tires mounted.

And my car is NOT an EF. It's an SB Civic. Later, QD.

[jdm_dunks89]

wow, nice tires man . Have fun!

[Lankhoss]

Hah, I love seeing these tires before they are mounted.

You can only imagine what my 345's look like :D

I dont really have any "proof" but, when we received shipments from michelin, they also sent us hankook and it was common knowledge that these, and a few other tires by hankook are manufactured by micheln.

If you compare the sidewall writing (on the ones manufactured by michelin) the sidewall writing, (tire size, etc...) is identical to a michelin.

[DinanM3atl]

Sorry. I wasn't trying to come off like a douche.

I just find that hard to believe. If it is true, no wonder they are good :)

Hankook has been a tire manufacturer since the early 50's, I believe. They started in Korea as a tire manufacturer then. It wasn't until the early 2000's that they started making their tire under the Michelin name. So basically, the Michelin's are rebranded Hankooks. A little tire knowledge for you. Later, QD.

[DunDunSkeert]

I want to buy one of those just because their so cheap. Can't wait to see the mounted pics

[imbatman]

damnn...its like 2 tires in one

[OTG Signs]

Yep, the one time tires for this car will be cheap.

I have been very happy with my Nitto NT05's, and the price was decent. They grip like crazy.

yeah I put a new 245/40 Hankook RS2 next to mine and it makes the 245 look like a CRX tire.

WTH is that suppose to mean foo ..

[swollix]

CRX are weak, and thus require equally weak tires. :goodjob:

[Prime.]

so do you like them so far?

[swollix]

so do you like them so far?

Yep. Like I said, I loved these on the M3. Super stiff sidewall and super sticky compound. I now know what 1st and 2nd gear feel like, and there is no more wheelhop.
