Got my meatys on!

After killing my pirelli's, I finally got my car done right. Got the car an alignment, and four badass tires. Hankook Ventus ST's. 275/40ZR20 on all the wheels. Major improvement over my bald p-zero's. The guy changing the tires out, said it was a miracle my tires didn't blow up. Jokingly, I think? Anyway, the grip on these is great, the ride is smooth, and best of all was the price. $150 each tire. Also had my TPMS fitted and working. Great Friday the 13th! The car is filthy because of the shitty rain, can't wait to wash it up and do my pro-shoot!

You can see my old tires in the back of this pic.

Hankooks really blew me away when I got tires recently. I got the EVO V12 and for the price, THEY CAN NOT BE BEAT.

Between $150 and $170 depending where you find 'em. Not sure about the evo 12's though.

Let's see....i got two 245/45/20 for $353 OUT THE DOOR. That is with tax included. Without tax it was like $320. That's $160 per tire.

Good to hear. I'm looking at the v12s but I'll also put these on the list.

Glad to see others running this tire. I've been running a full set of 275/40/20's of the Hankook Ventus ST's for quite a while [20x9 stock wheels all around]. I put 15k miles on the set with my 2010 LT/RS and then swapped those over to my 2011 and have put another 14k miles on them so far...still plenty of tread left. Damn tires seem like they are going to last forever compared to my original P-Zeros.

Just watch that right foot when it rains, as I've found the Ventus ST's to have a bit less grip in the rain compared to the P-Zeros.
