I'm looking for the best bang for your buck. I've always bought Bridgestone Potenza RE050 and RE050A. But I've heard good reviews on Hankook Ventus rgII. I need 4 new tires for street use and occasional AutoX. What do you recommend?

I should add that i'm lowered on Bilstein's PSS9's with a 1" finger gap.

Size and offset
17X7 +47 and 17X8 +47

Thank you.

 

Azenis 615s

 

^ Well, the Azenis only come in a 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. With a +47 front and rear and a drop of any significance, be prepared to rub both front and back

I'm wearing 215/45/17 and 245/40/17 Kuhmo ASX's on my Works and I rub...lowered on H&R coilovers.

 

i say stick with the potenza's, i have heard good reviews about the BS RE01R's

 

If you can fit the RE01's, then try them out. They're on sale at tirerack right now and even have a $100 mail-in rebate for SCCA members. Pretty awesome deal. I'd get some if they properly fit my OEM wheels.

I'm getting some Azenis 615's in two weeks.

 

What do you think about Hankook Ventus rgII? I heard good reviews from people that have used them. But I didn't find it on TireRacks website. Also, I have the Bridgestone RE050A's and they rub badly on the rear setup I have.

 

do you mean hankook ventus rs2?

i had 2 sets of these tires and i really like them on the street/mildly aggressive driving they did fine. these are good tires for the street but they do wear out fast
