Replaced my Bridgestone RE050A Pole Positions with them and couldn't be happier.
Leading evidence: 'Replace bridgestone re050a pole positions' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Just replaced the rear Sumi HTR ZIII with a new set on the Saturday, I think I got about 15K out of them.

FWIW, I ran the Sumis on my C2, and I run them on my GT3 now.

Suggestion · Original poster
I called TireRack and they are sending me a new set of rears to replace the old ones free of charge (in addition to paying me $25 each for mounting the new tires).
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

I agonized over the "N rated" concept but decided this may be a bit of marketing hype kinda like "Porsche approved" oil but I am probably an agnostic on both.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi,
I'm looking for some 19" tires and have heard quite a bit about the Hankook Ventus V12's, the Sumitomo HTZ III's and Toyo T1R's. Anyone have feedback about these tires? Or any alternatives? Should I just stick to the N verions of tires from Michelin, Bridgestones or Contis?
Thanks,
Rajesh
I have a set of Nexen's (n3000) on my 18" wheels and BFG G-force sports on my 17" wheels. I was going through a set of rears every 8k- 10k and could not justify the big dollar tires. I autocross both sets and drive the @$)) out of them when ever I can.
Im very very happy with my 19" Toyo T1R's... Going to be my 4th Summer with them this year... The pic is from Summer 08... After running them Summer of 07 & 08 i had them Swaped Left to Right & vice versa in Summer 09, they should be done after this Summer... 315/25 Rear and 235/35 Fronts
PS: They have 4 Track Days and 4 1/4 Mile Days on them
I bought a set of Hankook Ventus V12 last summer and couldn't be happier. Previous tire was Conti Contact Sport. The Kooks are quiet, good in the rain, and I have noticed no issues with very spirited street driving. I'm running 235/35/19 and 295/30 19 on my NB 02 C2 Cab.
I agonized over the "N rated" concept but decided this may be a bit of marketing hype kinda like "Porsche approved" oil but I am probably an agnostic on both.
I paid $750 for these tires from Discount Tire Direct and then received a $50 rebate from Hankook. Quite a good value.
Car and Driver did a review of Max Performance Summer Tires here
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...mparison_tests
. The Kooks were better than most tires tested. Check it out!
Big vote for the Sumis. Ran them on my 968. Loved them - because they were good, not because they were less expensive. That fact was just a nice addition to the equation.
Check out this long-running thread on the 993 board:

Im running 18" Kuhmo Ecsta SPT on my 4S. So far I really like them. They are grippy, quiet, and have a good fit on my rims. (flat sidewall) I think the rears about $225 which is still rather inexpensive for a 295.
I use the Vredesteins for the street. Long lasting and a fair price. The Dunlops I use for the track and are awesome as well as long lasting for a better price than any of the N-rated tires. They're not a racing tire but since I track the car once a week, they last me a while (keeps the wifey happy)
Kumho Ecsta, Vredestein, Falken FK452, Sumi HTRZ- All pretty much the same price range, I've tried em all on diff. cars and they are all good enough for daily street use.
I have had toyo t1r 245s up front and 315/25/19s out back (11" wheel), also going into 4th summer. comfortable, durable street tire. Work well in weather, just don't get your foot all the way in them when it gets cold.
The only think I don't like about them is the soft sidewall, great for comfort, but man have I bent wheels (to be fair, my car is in terrible urban environments a lot)
Next time, I may try the all season proxes 4, fitment in following post

Or the ventus v12
I purchased some of the Hankooks V12's as a cheap set of rain tires for track/street use. After using them I found myself quite surprised by their performance (wet & dry). When I read the C&D review a couple of weeks later, my exposure to them was validated when they reported how well they did against tires like the PS2. At that point I was a happy camper.
After a few weeks of usage, I got a rebate check from Hankook and I was an even happier camper. *Golf Claps*
Another vote for the Hankook V12s. Replaced my Bridgestone RE050A Pole Positions with them and couldn't be happier. Grippy, responsive, handle well in the wet. Street only, I don't track. For the price and performance, I'd order them again in a heartbeat.
I went with these too but 275s at the rear. I have the same opinion. They are very quiet, rides very well considering the low sidewall, and very good performance on both wet and dry. Excellent value for street tires.
Just replaced the rear Sumi HTR ZIII with a new set on the Saturday, I think I got about 15K out of them. They were down to the wear bars in the center on both tires. Looks like the fronts have at least another 10-20K in them. I'm very happy with the Sumi's.

I am not saying they are not a good tire - and for the price they may even be the best tire, all I am saying is if I have the money, I will buy a higher performance tire next round so I can compare
I only have one data point - need more!
FWIW, I ran the Sumis on my C2, and I run them on my GT3 now. If you are just putting around town or highway, they are great - especially if you run track alignment.

Thought I'd re-open this thread as I was washing my car today and noticed that my rears are getting pretty close to their end of their lives.
So of course I have Michelin PS2s on the car now and I like them. But I priced them at Tire Rack and Discount Tire and of course each one is $430+.
So I've explored the possibility of just changing out all four with the Hankook Ventus V12. Has anyone tried those in the 285/30ZR18 size? My car is a daily driver and I might do 2 DEs a year and maybe 3-4 autocrosses.
Is the price worth the compromise?
Have been running Bridgestone 050As on my car since new. Fantastic. But you're running 19s on your 996? Are you checking the torque on all suspension parts every 5000 miles?
Good timing - I have just put on the V12's on my car today. I haven't had a chance to try to push them to the limit, but they seem fine so far. I should have an update in a week or two.
Oh, that makes sense. Had that happen a few times to me too. If I read the OP's initial post and then reply, that answer sometimes appears below someone's else's post later in the thread. Then it appears that my response was to the later post.
+1
There are a handful of posters that I see saying this any time 19" wheels are mentioned on a 996, but I don't know that I've ever seen anything that quantifies the statement. Anyone?
Tire Update:
I had a slight vibration at speeds over 120kmph. I took it in and it seems that one of the rears is out of round. I called TireRack and they are sending me a new set of rears to replace the old ones free of charge (in addition to paying me $25 each for mounting the new tires).
Have to take my hat off to TR for the excellent service they provide! I know we should expect service like this all the time, but it's not the case with most resellers, and hence a positive surprise when a business goes the extra mile to make you a happy customer!
