I picked up a set of Hancook Ventus HRII H405 205/16/55 from what was Edgeracing.com in December 2007. (which sadly Edgeracing closed down in January 2009)
The tire seemed to have good customer reviews from the different websites I found, great ratings for dry and wet driving, and couldn't beat the $72.00 per tire price plus shipping. Which shipping was never more than $40.00 for 4 tires seeing how they were located in Ft Lauderdale.
I got the tires mounted at my local Firestone for about $12 bucks per tire/rim. Also good deal!
As I left Firestone, the tires felt good. No excess vibration or tire noise. After driving to work one day down I-4, I started to notice some tire noise. I stopped at the nearest gas station to check the air level in the tire. All were fine. Then I began the research on the tires I just got. They are very noisy over the speeds of 45 mph and the tread wears fast according to other review I have found. Too bad I did not find these reviews before buying these.
Lesson learn. Next set of tires research has started.
Check list for next set:
High wet and dry driving rating
High thread rating
