Ventus RS2 315/30/18'S

[mineralrob]

Getting these mounted up tomorrow. Was curious if anyone is running them and how are they. I had Nitto 305/35/18 DR's before and i liked them but was hoping to get a lil more life out of the ventus's. For the price it seems to be a good deal. I guess i'll find out tomorrow night how good they are.

Hankook Ventus R-S2

I looked at those (in a smaller size) for my fronts, but ended up goin with BFG KDW's. Those look like a nice tire, and Hankook is far from a no-name brand, so they should do you fine.

OT: how ya been? Haven't seen you in the off season, my car is almost back together, then its off for an alignment, a tiny bit of paint work, and a tune before carlisle :thumbsup: You cruising up with us again this year?

I had them on my old 01 GT. I had 295's though, not 315's. Its a good tire.

I was going to get them from Discount last month when I got new tires, but then the guy showed me the Kumho XS which is also made in a 315. I ended up getting the Kumho because I was more than pleased with the MX's that I had before, but mainly because the Kumho run a bit wider and they have a softer compound than the Ventus. Once you get them mounted up let us know what you think as 315's at a reasonable price are tough to find.

I'm thinkin mid april it will be out of paint, so it'll be driveable at that point, i'm shooting for getting it tuned before the end of april:beer:

Yea will do. I saw the kumhos and wanted those but they were a lil bit more $$. I do like the tread pattern on the kumhos though.

:mj::cuss:Well they should've been mounted by now but the tire place F%$%!! the one tire. They ripped the bead mounting the tire. They ordered me one and it should be here today or tomorrow. Funny thing about the whole thing is that when they came out they said""oh we cant get it mounted" .So i'm like whatever i'll take it somewhere else. When i went somewhere else there like the beads ripped in 2 places. I went back and they were nice about it and took care of it. Needless to say i wont be getting the new tire mounted there!!:nonono: So my cars sitting on jackstands with 1 back wheel on it.(they were able to get 1 mounted)

Yea i agree man. I was just a lil upset about them saying they couldnt get it mounted knowing that they ripped the bead. Just acting like there was nothing wrong and there was,
