I recently got 4 Hankooks from Tirerack for about $550 installed. When I first got them they were very squiirmy, but after a few heat cyclesand about 200 milees, the firmed up and now they handle great. Haven't gone on the track with them yet, but they are good on the street.

I have always considered tires a major part of the outside appearance of a car. Therefore I won't downgrade with anything inferior to OEM components. The quickest & easiest way to alter the performance & appearance of a motor vehicle is by changing the tires. When I inspect a vehicle for sale the tires tell alot about how it was maintained & driven. To me downgrading tires is simular to replacing a Porsche spoiler with universal 1 size fits some E-bay spoiler.

I currently have a set of Goodyear F1's that have 95+ percent still on them. Maybe in the future I'll give the Nitto Invo, NT05 or NT450 a try .
