ok guys, my tire situation is really really bad! im about to die in my car! I have the original so2s on teh car with about 14k's miles on them drivin very hard and its basically baldddd! I have gone through many diff. tires choices and brands but can't seem to come across anything really. The ones i want either dont have 245's for the back or arne't very good tires. I dont want to spend about 140 bucks per tire so if you guys can help me out with some tires you guys have bought before and how you guys liked them. Price range below 140 for the rear please. Thanks. PLEASE HELP ME!

 

You need to get the Hankook RS-2. Very affordable and near SO-2 grip but softer side walls from what people are saying. I don't have personal experience but do a search and should find good things.

 

tirerack doesnt have any information on them whcih sucks cuz i love tireracks help and information. do you know where else i can find ratings on it from traction to thread wear? thanks.

 

try www.tires.com for the Hankooks

 

how long shoudl the hankooks last me with spirited driving on a dd car? btw, no tracking at all. How are they in rain as well? thanks.

 

my guess is 25% longer than stock S02's. Rain grip is excellent.

 

hankooks have good rain grip? are you serious? are they any better then the eS100's?

 

If you are willing to give up a little performance over the S02 you may want to look at the Bridgestone RE750. They will have longer tread life along with better wet traction and a better price. You should go with the 245/45R16 if you go that way.
If i can help let me know.

 

hey Jim, yea i really need tires probably by today i need to take the step of ordering em from somewhere. I was looking into the re750's for awhile now. Not sure if i shoudl go with those or the hankooks. ANy suggestions?

 

Yes, they have excellent wet grip, better then the Stock s02s or the ES100s'.

I have the Hancooks on my track wheels and
the ES100's on my street rims.

For the price, you cant beat the Hankooks
